Oh come on......you mean you really don't have any modern bullion that you can break out of the government holder, get slabbed an ubber goober high grade, and now show it off as a rare COIN...?????
Seems like rare and modern go hand in hand with either errors or condition census. the foriegn coins with low mintages are no big deal, as there are many of those. They have no demand either.
Now my modern rarity (no Pics)
1976-D Silver Planchet Ike. PCGS MS64 One of 2-3 known!!! Finest known for the date and tied for finest known sivler planchet Ike. There is a 74-D in PCGS MS64.
Oh not very long. But you can find a 1893-S Morgan or a 1916-D Mercury or a 1909-S VDB Lincoln with ease.
Just on eBay (44) 1893-S....(48) 1916-D Mercury...(55) 1909-S VDB........and only (6) of the Unc 2006-W Plats >>
I'd wager there isn't a single nice '82-P or '83-P quarter availabe.
Usually there are only two or three there and the odds of a nice one are poor. There are so few available because there aren't many and there are so few nice ones because they are mostly available only by chance and the odds are against it very strongly.
I can't help with the 1969-S or 1958 DDOs, but here's a 1970-S. Last I checked the pops, there were 20-ish slabbed of the 69-S, and 30-ish of the 70-S.
Any ideas on how many of these there might be out there that people just didn't send in for slabbning but might be as nice?
PCGS and NGC combined have slabbed over 1,850 of the 2006-W Burnished $25 platinum. That's around 70% of the estimated mintage, which would make raw examples kind of scarce.

HMMMmmmm....than owning one in an original mint case and box would be the rarity. So would I rather own one of the 70% that grades 69 or 70 in assorted plastic or one of the 30% still in the beautiful mint presentation case and box that is also a 69 or a 70

According to latest estimates (subject to revision), there were fewer than 700 2006-W $25 burnished plats sold as single coins in the original box. The other 2,000 or so were part of four-coin sets, some of which were broken up and sold as singles.
So the original single-coin mint presentation cases are much scarcer than the $25 coins themselves.
I am not sure modern gold is considered rare but here is one that I own and will never part with. I am not even sure if it is considered rare by number of known.
RACC I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Oh for heavens sake. Dont call that 1929 Indian a MODERN coin......oh the horror and the shame. Everyone knows that all Moderns are 69's and 70's..
Well my father-in-law was born in 1929 and he is still walking tall. I am sure he would not like being called a crusty old classic

I was rooting though my collection to find this to post:
It's not as rare as some of the other suff above, but it's the best I can do.
While searching for this set I found a roll of 1983-P quarters that I had been looking for for years. All along I was looking for a wrapped roll, but I forgot that I put it in a tube. I didn't look at them to closely so I have no idea what the quality is. It's odd that I even have this roll because it's the only roll of coins I ever saved. I had a whole bank box of them one day at work and I just decided to save one.

I second that. I've been to 5 year's worth of Santa Clara shows and still can't find a strong gem 82 P and D quarter.

1970-s small date pcgs ms67rd pop 7/0. I have Lincoln Memorials with an even lower pop, but this is my favorite, as unlike other dates, unsearched rolls of 70-s sd are non-existant. They didn't even come by the roll originally, as they came as 2 or 3 coins mixed in some rolls (or in 9% of mint sets). Of all the unsearched rolls of 70-s I've searched, I've never found a small date. This pop will stay low forever (barring pcgs going screwy). This has also got to be one of the nicest of the 7.
Notice that most of these "excessively rare modern coins" are either condition rarities or mint errors?
