With a mintage of about 100-150 is this 1934-35 Proof Centenary Florin. So far only 8 have been graded by PCGS  |

Hopefully it will be alright if I bump this thread. Apparently this coin is PL and not meant for circulation, though it certainly does not look like either. In its condition, I doubt it is worth more than the dollar I paid, but I still really like it. It has a mintage of 4,752. Great Britain 2 pence, 1831. It is also my smallest coin at 13.44 millimeters. |

Who would do that to a Maundy twopence?  At any rate, nice pick up for a dollar! Some of my lowest mintage coins: Circulation: British Honduras 50c 1901; 10,000 NIFC: 1874 Maundy penny: 8,741 Kind of a coin: Hutt River Province 50 cents 1976; 5,000 Token: Trade dollar from a Mormon temple dedication extravaganza: 550 Survival rate: Several ancients with estimated survival numbers well below 100. Some unpublished and may be unique. Edited by Finn235

this is the lowest one that comes to mind right now..the 1888 Newfoundland $2 gold coin was the last year of production for these coins and have the highest mintage of the series at 25,000 coins struck. the 1882 H had the same mintage but all other years were lower..the lowest was 1880 at 2,500 while other years were as high as 10,000. these coins were struck from 1865-1888 yet there are only 8 dates to collect in this series.  Feel free to call me Will.

Here is my newest lowest mintage! 1887 Proof Morgan dollar710 mintage, estimated survival of 290!    Also, some eye candy! This is an 1896-P in a PCGS MS65 holder! A friend of mine took the pictures of this coin.   |

Most of my coins are business strikes for circulation, so they tend to be higher mintage. But a little digging produced this one. Large at 37.2 mm dia. Small in mintage: 3,000 Sweden, 4 Skilling 1849  |

Sweden, 4 Skilling 1849 Oooh, nice! I have one of those too, but it's not as good as yours. But I'll have to disappoint you - back when I got mine, I made a Numista thread about it, and best I can figure out, it is possible that the Numista mintage figures are incorrect (note in particular that NGC has very different mintages); sorry. Very beautiful large copper either way. |

Thanks for the clarification January; I always ck NGC 1st since compared to other TPGs they grade 'virtually' all older coins to my standards... Chute, your coin is still a cool coin and one I'd proudly display. |
