49 Days Of Low Mintage US And World Coins

1713 Metz 15 Deniers. Pulled out of a 50 cent apiece junk box. Page 31 in my 2003 Red Book.

My example is three years older, its denomination is twice as large, and I paid three times as much money.

Same mint though




France (sometimes listed as French Colonies), 30 deniers (mousquetaire), 1710-AA (Metz mint).

The mintage was, apparently, 13,269,922 (according to Numista).


...I don't have any Half Cents, don't recall if I've ever made a pic of my only pre-1835 large cent (and it's dateless anyway), and I hadn't seen my only cupronickel IHC in years.

I expect to return home (from the vacation trip I'm currently on) sometime late evening August 30th, so hopefully I might be able to quickly find my lowest mintage IHC and post it (pretty sure I had one from the 1870s... really bad condition though).

I could post my 1841 large cent if the 1835 was a typo though

1828 US Half Cent 12 Stars Variety
Mintage: 606,000
From prices and from what I understand, there were three dies for 1828 Half Cents, Two with 13 stars and One with 12.
The prices almost reflect this that these are roughly worth twice what a comparable 13 star Half Cent would be priced.
Two to one looks like the ratio.
Perhaps there were about 202,000 minted?

Your Half Cent Spence, is one type that I don't have .... yet
it is on my list for my type set. ( But then so is the 1793 - maybe we'll see one posted here? )

It's was hard to put together something like this. I apologize. I am glad you caught these things. People will probably know it is a typo anyway and post. ( I hope )
Maybe I can get jbuck or another mod will go in and clean up aisle two for me.
