Okay, I'll bite. My rarest coins, all one cents, are:
1876-H trial piece in bronze (different than the normal specimen of that year) - 3 known.
1876 (no H) trial piece - about 8 known.
1858 trial piece in copper nickel - about 10 known
1859 brass error - about 20 known.

A collection of concept tokens and Mint samples plus a number of off-metal coins, all them unique and if taken together worth less than any of Bosox coins.

I have a commem from an obscure country (don't remember which one offhand) with a mintage of 30,000. This is probably my rarest coin in terms of mintage.
My two identical 10 rouble errors might be a little rarer though... it's kind of confusing in that I have two I got in change at the same time, but as much as I tried I couldn't find any others since. Oh, and to this day I don't know what sort of error it could possibly be (it actually looks more like a die variety than an error).
EDIT: For Canadian coins specifically, it's my AU 1958 silver dollar (British Columbia centennial). Well, that or the 1941 dime, but I'm fairly sure that the dollar is rarer.

'Rare' to me does not necessarily mean high price.
I have previously many top Pop ICCS coins.(unfortunately not the $80K type coins).
For instance....
I've had graded and sold the only two 1951 ICCS ms65 10c double die varities.
I've had an 1886 25c ICCS ms64 (sole highest, I think).
and presently I have a 1927 ms65 ICCS 25c piece.

Sometimes rare doesn't necessarily mean not many minted... there is also "condition rarity", too

glenzy1, I like that grade, but make mine a rib-eye, and just 'walk it by the fire'...
