Just regular issue business strike coins, cent through dollar. For the purposes here we'll count the three 1972 Ike types as a single coin (although I know that's debatable). Besides that, it's still kind of a trick question. I'll post the answer tonight or tomorrow morning.
Bonus question: What was the last regular issue business strike coin 1934-date to be graded in ms66?

Do you mean ALREADY graded? There is no way to know how many are YET to grade.
W/O looking I will guess 3.
Later, Paul.
I don't understand your question at all. PCGS has certified (counting duplicates) more than 500 1934-dated Lincolns alone in MS66+ RD or finer. So that counts as one issue? Is that what you're after? Perhaps you could, um, be a little clearer?
Kind regards,
George
The question was about 1934 to date (i.e. last 75 years). Not 1934-dated.
I would guess there are quite a few Jeffs that don’t exist in 66+ or better so I’ll guess 20 total. I assume we are not counting strike designations.

I can't think of many candidates after 1964 though.
People would be surprised to see the weak strikes on some dates of MS-67 where this is the highest grade.
I will guess ten having collected most coins from this era, As the OP stated 'regardless of strike' eliminates a lot of coins. Off hand I will say perhaps a couple of Jeffs and Franklins have yet to grade above 66+ along with possibly a clad high mintage Washington that wasn't saved. I do know some of those are tough above ms65. My curiosity is piqued, and I am going to check out CoinFacts. Cool thread, AllCoinsRule..
I have had a handful of coins I bought raw (one cracked out and sent in raw) grade 66+, though some were dated before 1934. My first MS67 was a 13-D type 1 buff.

I would say zero.
Wow...those Nickels are tuff! I knew there were a bunch without FS, but thought there was some in non FS.
Without looking I would say there isn't a date since 1934 without a 66+. And again I would have to look to see which date has the lowest pop in 67.
2012-P has 0 in 67
2017-P&D 0 in 67
2014-D & 2015-D 1 in 67
2010-P 2 in 67
2009-D 3 in 67 but 1 in 69
1970 has 4 in67
1973 has 6 in 67
1935-D, 1969, and 1972 have 10 in 67
You said regardless of bands so I looked at only MS. Also you said 34 to date so I started there. There are a lot of high grade Mercs before 34 with and w/o bands. And you ask for lowest pop in 67 so I listed those again MS not FB.
