The Newfoundland (NFLD) two-dollar gold. Even for NFLD this was an odd duck. They are a little larger in diameter than a dime, have three denominations written on the back ("TWO HUNDRED CENTS" and "2 DOLLARS" and "ONE HUNDRED PENCE") and were issued in vanishingly small quantities that amount to fewer than 100,000 pieces total over a twenty-three year period (1865-1888) with eight years of issue. Try putting a set of these together!

I like those! I came very close to buying one a while back. @lordmarcovan ended up with it.
Perhaps he’ll post it here? 🧐

Other than the 1880, one can assemble a date set quite easily.

Here’s an odd denomination:
15 cents...

Agreed, but the caveat I always keep in mind is to assemble a collection of coins that I like. That's the trick.

Mr_Spud

How about a Groat (1371-90) S-5131 minted in Edinburgh Scotland

I remember reading this thread from my lurking days - I can’t remember if it was from a search or not. Hilarious though!

Unoffical ! Mule ?
What ?

Kurisu

Recently got this one graded...not sure why they decided to make it a $15 coin.
Maybe some Aussie coin history I'm unaware of?

MidLifeCrisis

Well, @Kliao already posted a 3CN, but this is the only odd denomination coin I have currently so I'll post it.

winesteven

I don’t own any Patterns, but here are some of my odd denominations. Of the seven coins shown, six have a “+”, and of those six, three got their plus via Reconsideration:

1. My “Ash Wednesday” Half Cent (lol), MS64+RD w/CAC:
   
2. MS66+RD w/CAC:
   
3. MS67+ w/CAC:
   
4. PR67+CAM w/CAC:
   
5. PR66+CAM w/CAC (I guess a “Half Dime” is “odd”?)
   
6. 
7. 

As you can see, when people say I am "odd", apparently they're correct, lol.

Other than my two, Two Cent pieces, I do not have anything that fits the 'odd' or 'pattern' categories. Cheers, RickO

Very similar to the Sydney Sovereigns ((1857-1870)). The Wyons at work again - nice coin.

1 of 2 known. As described in the Woodward sale of Mickley 1867 "believed to the ugliest of all known coins, and certainly one of the rarest. In designing this, and the following (referencing Pollock 3095), the artists of the mint almost outdid themselves."

Is this Schrodinger's Coin?

Mr_Spud

Just what exactly is the denomination of this Nova? I’ve read conflicting information.

1/13 of a shilling is pretty odd
