This 1783 Chalmers Shilling is the only uncirculated one described in over 150 years!

The finest example we’ve seen of this scarce issue, and the only piece ever described as “uncirculated” in a century and a half of auction catalogs, reference books and census listings of this type.

Of note, the TrueView also shows a nice edge view around the coin!

1856-O $20
1797 $1 Small Letters
1804 10C
I am sure there are more in the gold series .
The 1805 half dime was thought to be unique in UNC ( PCGS MS64 ) and that coin was on the market for 750K or so . There is now a second MS ( PCGS MS62 ) certified .
Great coins! Here's the Newman - @cardinal dollar!
1797 $1 Small Letters
This lists Newman in the Cert Verification and has an image on CoinFacts but no entry in the Condition Census.
1864-S Gold $5
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

That is the first coin I thought of
1870-S Seated Liberty Dollar.
Just ONE in MS 62 at PCGS.
NONE at NGC.

The interesting thing is that there's no provenance on Cert Verification or CoinFacts.
I'm not sure but I think there is only one uncirculated 1860 Clark Gruber $20.
Most mint errors are some layer of unique

Many do, but not all. For example, off center business strikes tend to be common. Wrong planchets when the error planchet is smaller than the die are also common, but wrong planchets when the planchet is larger than the die tend to be very rare.
Here's the Melish-Norweb-Bass-Stellar coin.

Thanks.
There was a period of time where this coin appeared less at auction than the famous 1802. I don't know if that is still true but what an underrated rarity. Current guide value in F15 of 1.5X 15 and 16 stars, a steal if you can find a nice one.
Also heard of rumors of an overseas coin in a British museum in mint state, but as far as I know just a rumor.
