CONTEST TIME !, get out your redbooks

Chrysta's contest made me think that it is time I had one of my own. This one
is gonna take a little effort on your part. The contest is to guess what coin
in my collection has the lowest mintage.To narrow down the list from thousands,
I have whittled it down to 105 coins to choose from. Here are some clues, the
coins is:

Not made of Gold
Not a commemorative
Not a half dime
Not a proof

The coin is:
Made in the USA for USA circulation
Minted after 1850
Containing a mintmark
Total mintage for the coin was less than 500,000

Disregard any coins thought of as unique(1873CC dime, 1873S half etc). If I
done my math this should leave 105 coins to choose from, give or take a couple.

I will give this contest until Thursday night 6:00pm Aug 28.
Winner will receive their choice of a 2000 mint set and 1944D Philippine 10
centavos and 1944S philippine 5 centavos coin(both grade range VF-XF) or
an 1886 Morgan dollar I grade MS 61-62 but what do I know, and an 1876CC dime
that grades good with slight porosity.

Only one guess per contestant. Contest is over with the first correct answer
In the rare event there is no winner, I'll let you know what will happen. If
I've overlooked anything, I'll fix it as we go.
Good Luck

Everyone giving a incorrect answer will be in a random drawing for a prize
undetermined at press time.

One more change since there are no replies. I will NOT reveal the winner until
Thurs. night, that way anyone answering incorrectly early on, the answer they
give will not be eliminated. If there are multiple correct answers they will be
random drawn on Thurs. night by my daughter.

1873-CC Trade Dollar.

That was going to be my guess, but it wasn't minted for U.S.
circulation. Instead, I'll go with an 1870CC Seated Dollar.
