I have the 2000P 5c, which is common.
Could somone please rank the rarity and their possible mintages? Is the rarest the quarter or was it the 50 Cent piece?

I believe 50¢ outnumber the 25¢ caribou by a factor of 10

Has anyone here seen the 2000P half on sale?
Were the quarters minted for circulation?

I believe the 2000P Fifty Cent coin has a population of about 240 or 250. All of them were encased in desk top clocks.
I only recall seeing one or two for sale over the years.

I've been looking on ebay for a 200P 50c for several months now. No sign of one so far. Charlton 2012 says 'Only two known' for the 2000P 25c. |

IMO, NBU clock bits,and backdoor test tokens,I can think of a lot more desirable coins for the money,their only significance is their rarity.Rarity for it's own sake can easily be acheived in any number of collectible hobbies.

How many 5 cent pieces do you have? Did they come in rolls?

I only have 10 5 cent pieces. They must have come in rolls at some point.

I have about 8 2000P 5c pieces, pulled from at least 200 rolls for that.. It seems the 1977 Low 7 is a lot more available than the 2000P (I have 38 of those from the same rolls)

According to the Coins and Canada website mintages, the mintage is actually pretty high.

I pull a 2000P nickel about once every other box. Not at all rare, but greatly outnumbered by the non-P variety.

I wouldn't consider a mintage of 4.8 million high when the non p version of 2000 is 105 million. It's even lower than the 1970 mintage
And it must be of some what of a rarity if people pay up to $5 a piece for it

Ah. I had wondered if the 2000p 25c was a backdoor job. Is the 10c failed returns, or a monster backdoor run? Why are they legal to own? |
