Original mintage: 8
That depends upon whether you are asking about Proof mintages or overall mintages. My
lowest _reported_mintage overall would be a 1796 No Stars Quarter Eagle at 963 pieces. I have some 19th medals with mintages of 100 to 200 pieces, and some die variety coins with lower mintages which not reported, but for a regular issue U.S. coin, that is probably my lowest number.
By a very narrow margin (20 coins), this one, with 7,756 coins minted:
This one is in second place with 7,776 minted:
What I would consider to be my lowest mintage coins simply do not have mintage records. In part, it would also matter if the proof mintage would be considered separate.

it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Mintage 1660, in a PCGS AU53 holder, photo from the Goldberg catalog, looks much better in hand. One of these days I take a better photo.

1872 5C proof -- mintage 950. All 950 are DDO
If you mean a business strike then 1854-D $3-Note the full denticles both obverse and reverse, one in a handful.

Nothing very rare, just an old worn out 16d Mercury Dime (264k minted)
Anyone care to "guess" the grade of this one?
This really SHOULD be worth more, at a mintage of 4000. What I really need is for more of you to WANT a VF-30, 1883 3-Cent Nickel....
Under rated, under appreciated and under priced series in my opinion.

This is the lowest mintage coin in my collection at 979 pieces.

That Dahlonega three is stunning. The rest of your type set ain't nothin to scoff at either.

I don't mint coins.
Mintage 60
(you didn't specify US
For me every one of my lamination/de-lamination coins are 1 of 1 as no two of them are the same. In some cases similar, but none the less each are unique.
Cool !!!
Mintage 640

1801 half dime (date not really readable, but I IDed it from the reverse die markers), mintage 27,760.
Circulation strike-Like you-1857 1/2c. Proof-1872 2c. But I have a number of die varieties that are much rarer. Of course mintages for those are largely unknown.
looks alot better than a 61, imho
@rln_14 Thanks for the very nice comment. I thought it looked better than a 61 also and that is why I bought it.

I believe they only made one of these.

Proof coin mintage of 30
There were 208,000 minted. Lowest in the entire Walker series.
Less than 200 known in mint state 64 from both services. it was 180 the last time I checked but that number is inaccurate due to inflated pop and census reports.

I know I have a couple of low mintage coins.. the only one that springs to mind right now is my 1995W ASE....30,125.... I have not followed mintage numbers much, maybe I have some lower mintage coins in other series... Cheers, RickO
i always was impartial to these
I have a 1946C Newfoundland 5 Cent - Mintage 2,041
