What is the lowest mintage Lincoln? Excluding the 22 plain and 1955DD, which are unknown (I think I saw an estimate of 20,000 on the 55, but no one is sure).

If someone has the PCGS or NGC count, feel free to post it as well.

Worthless clue, the SVDB ain't even close.

Is it the 1970 with the 1969 reverse? Just guessing here. WOLF

When it comes to errors and varieties nobody knows how many were minted. So the obvious answer is the 1909-S VDB at 484,000.

The lowest mintage regular issue(business strike and proof) is the 1916 matte proof, mintage 1050. You can only determine the lowest mintage on something the mint actually counted so that excludes all transitional coins, die varieties, and errors. Looking at the pop records on Heritage, PCGS/NGC have certified 34 RD, 171 RB, and 59 BN.

BTW, nice to see you again biggfredd

A couple of you got it right with the 1916 proof, over 460 times scarcer than the SVDB. Thanks for the report, chemist. Now all I gotta do is see if mine certifies, or if it's just a real sharp MS.
