For this list, I included only "circulating coins," as defined on usmint.gov, though modern halves and dollars are obviously intended for collectors and rarely circulate. (This list excludes the American Innovation $1 Coin Series). The W-mint quarters, at 2 million apiece starting in 2019, didn't quite make the cut. Figures for the for the Bush Presidential $1 Coin suggest it could make the list, based on the latest sales data for rolls and bags (currently, fewer than 900,000 P-mint Bush coins and about 1.12 million D-mint Bush coins have been sold). All in all, it's a fairly short list. Am I leaving anything out? Kennedy half dollar, 2008-P, 1.7 million Kennedy half dollar, 2008-D, 1.7 million Kennedy half dollar, 2009-P, 1.9 million Kennedy half dollar, 2009-D, 1.9 million Kennedy half dollar, 2010-P, 1.8 million Kennedy half dollar, 2010-D, 1.7 million Kennedy half dollar, 2011-P, 1.75 million Kennedy half dollar, 2011-D, 1.7 million Kennedy half dollar, 2012-P, 1.8 million Kennedy half dollar, 2012-D, 1.7 million Kennedy half dollar, 2017-P, 1.8 million Kennedy half dollar, 2019-P, 1.7 million Kennedy half dollar, 2019-D, 1.7 million Native American dollar, 2008-P, 1.82 million Native American dollar, 2008-D, 1.82 million Native American dollar, 2013-P, 1.82 million Native American dollar, 2013-D, 1.82 million Native American dollar, 2017-P, 1.82 million Native American dollar, 2017-D, 1.54 million Native American dollar, 2018-P, 1.4 million Native American dollar, 2018-D, 1.4 million Native American dollar, 2019-P, 1.4 million Native American dollar, 2019-D, 1.54 million Native American dollar, 2020-P, 1.4 million Native American dollar, 2020-D, 1.26 million |

Maybe the 1996 W dime with mintage 1,457,000.

@Tunnioc — good point. I missed the 1996-W Roosevelt dime, although they were issued only in Mint sets. But, the line between "circulating coins" and mint-set issues is already blurred a bit anyway, as collectors will break them out for albums, slabbing, etc. |

@machine20 -- the recent years have certainly gotten "fuzzy" between "business" strikes and special-issue coins. One might argue that each of the 2009 Lincoln Cent P and D satin uncirculated brass coins (mintage of 784,614 apiece) belong on the list, along with the uncirculated 2019-W Lincoln Cent (mintage of 318,695). There's also the 2020-W Jefferson nickel. And you definitely have a point with the uncirculated and enhanced uncirculated "S" ATB Quarters, all of which had mintage figures below 2 million. Just shows you how many (too many) choices we have today, as collectors, compared with a generation or two ago. Edited by halfamind

Enough 'rare' coins to go around for every collector. The trick is to try and get them from pocket change at face value, and not give in and buy them.  |

I agree if the NA dollars and Kennedy halves sold only in rolls to collectors are included wouldn't all the 'S' mint ATB Quarters from 2012-2021 count also? Didn't the USM scrap the 2020 W uncirculated nickel? Edited by smuglr
