1931 S 866,000 Although I had a complete set at one time, I have only kept very few and this is one of the few I have left. I think the copper proofs of 2009 in the Chronicles set have a pretty low mintage but can't find the info.   |

What about this?  PCGS: Quote:The Mint sold approximately 771,204 sets of the 2009 Uncirculated Mint Sets, which means that the Satin Finish 2009 Lincoln cents now have the second-lowest mintage in the Lincoln Cent series (for non-proof coins that are composed of mostly copper alloy). The four different 2009 Satin Finish Lincoln cents have an even lower mintage than the 1931-S Lincoln Cent! I don't have any so, I'll have to find something else.

Excellent bd251!  It's nice we had some variety for the Lincolns, completed by your LSC Enhanced UNC. This first World Coin day will be a challenge. That's a lot of coins to consider.  I may end up picking something random with a mintage that sounds low to me. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

1907-H Canada Large Cent 800,000 ( Lowest mintage of the Dominion of Canada Large Cents )   The 1858 is a Province of Canada Large Cent but was used just the same in commerce with 421,000 minted. |

This first World Coin day will be a challenge. I agree. I tried for more than an hour last night to find my oldest copper alloy coin for which I have a mintage. As you might imagine, the mintages are often unknown for early coins. Even in the Krause books they are somewhat scare to find. Fortunately Kopicki came to my rescue and so here is a Solidas from Poland dated 1666 AD. It is in pretty rough shape, but the attribution is Kopicki #1554 and the estimated survivorship is 601 to 3000 pieces (R3).   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Quote:I may end up picking something random with a mintage that sounds low to me. I think I know what my lowest mintage is - will be posting if/when I find the coin! Hint/spoiler: in a completely unrelated coincidence, it is probably also my only coin that is both copper and bronze (and not just one of the two). I have a really rare Elbing solidus (KM 65 "rare", Kopicki 9655 R7 - that's a survivorship estimate of 4-6, though I'm not sure if it includes my example), but it's technically silver (billon), so I'll probably post it on the 17th of September. |

Now we're in my ballpark! Guernsey 2 doubles 1899H   Mintage apparently unknown; I found a thread in Numista requesting them to be added, as they were not listed in catalogs. Probably between 20,000-30,000 original mintage. The most common coin from the series has a mintage of 71,000; lowest is 18,000. A very common coin that has become rare: USSR 1/2 kopek 1927   A 3 year type minted 1925, 1927, and 1928, 1927 had a mintage of over 45 million. Soviets were horrible with finances, and liked scapegoats; apparently these coins were somehow blamed, and "all" were confiscated and melted. I haven't seen any data on survival numbers, but these rank among the most expensive of their contemporary Soviet coins of the 4th ruble. And another, just for fun: Ryukyu Kingdom (Okinawa, Japan) 1/2 Shu, 1860s or 70s.   Not sure about the actual mintage, but the islands were not especially densely populated, the coins were woefully unpopular, and most were destroyed when Japan formally annexed the islands in the 1870s. Original mintage likely under 1 million pieces, of which just a small fraction survives. My second most expensive Japanese coin. |
