Your lowest mintage?
It's a certain three-year-old boy's borthday today! Yes, he's been
saddled for life with being an 'April Fool's Day' child, poor tyke. I have been blasted by the evil Zurg about 45 times already and it's not even 8AM. ;-) Anyway, I spent a little time last night after wrapping Buzz Lightyear in organizing some of the coins in my collection when I had one of those strange, random, I've-been-up-too-long thoughts. If your collection was organized from lowest mintage to highest mintage for each coin, which piece that you own would be #1? I have some Barber Quarters, a few 19th century coins, even a 1798 Large Cent (1,841,745) ;-) but the three 'smallest mintage' coins I own blow those away. I'll do this as a contest. Identify these three official US Legal Tender coins by their mintages: 47,955 50,030 57,272 and guess, within $50, what I paid to acquire the three of them. (Public responses only, please, no e-mail!) First correct answer by time-stamp gets as a prize, one of the US coins that has seen the biggest increase in value since 12/01/03....a 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, containing .36169 oz of silver. ;-) Alan 'LQQK!

My lowest mintage is a franklin mint Belize quarter with a mintage of 830.
My lowest US coin is a 1948-D BTW with a mintage of 4000-something. It's in VF and thus is as close as you can get to unique. eric l. |

It's still an order of magnitude lower than my three 'mini-mintages'. ;-) Alan 'Book 'Em, Dano!' |

These would be the Oregon, Cleveland, and Botanic Garden commems. I'll guess you paid $100 +/- $50. If I win, I'll pass on the prize--the notion of a 10% cut to the Post Office tells me Mr. Kennedy is better off at your house. --Chris |

Having said that they a 47,955 = 1926 Oregon Trail Memorial 50,030 = Cleveland Great Lakes Exposition 57,272 = 1997P Botanical Gardens Silver Dollar Nice group of commems if I do say so myself. Congratz on having them in your collection. Winde 'going to resist this urge to collect modern commems' 'somehow' |
