Thank you, thq. I like branch-mint early Seated quarters as well, but boy are they hard to get nowadays. That 1861-S is quite nice, and a very scarce coin, per Coinfacts with a surviving population of only 60 coins. That is scarce or rather, rare. |

thq, I am jealous, you have an 1846 Half Dime. I'm still searching for one. Rarest I have as far as mintage goes are 3 1832 Half Cents, one of each Cohen variety. The mintage is purportedly 51,000 for the year. |

I had a similar thread in the Main Coin forum https://goccf.com/t/198297. Although I didn't limit it to just U.S. coins. ALOT of interesting coins/tokens there.  For me, my lowest is still the 1893 PR Indian cent (2195) pictured in the above thread. My lowest business strike is an 1899 Morgan. (330,00). |

If grades made it rare, I have a proof 70 ASE, and NGC only has a population of like 8k (citation needed) If all die varieties count, I have an 1803 large cent that has a spooky ghost 3 (R4) If world coin counted, I have an Aussie Kookaburra with a mint age of 500k But, since those don't count, my rarest coin, off the top of my head, (I likely have rarer, but I'm on vacation) a 1962 proof nickel! With a mintsge of 3 million! Edited by NickelCollector

Here is my best Peace dollar. It has a color clash on the reverse. Bot too common on Peace dollars. It is REALLY nicely struck. This is probably my most valuable coin.   |
