I've always been attracted to the absolute rarity of coins with populations under 100 (I'm using Coinfacts estimates as a measure) in all grades. Here are mine, post yours...

1842 $2.5 P45 CAC, Pop 55
image

1860 $2.5 Old Reverse P58 CAC, Pop 50
image

1842 $5 Large Date Large Letters, P53 CAC, Pop 47
image

1842-O $5 P40 CAC ex. Littlejohn, Pop 60
image

1846 $5 P55 Gold CAC, Pop 50
image

1847-O $5 P35 CAC, Pop 50
image

1859 $5 P55 CAC, Pop 75
image

1859-S $5 P53 CAC, Pop 55
image

1860-S $5 P45 CAC, Pop 50

    I think in DMPL the total pop is 52 or so for the 1902-O. Luckily I have 3 to cover my bases.....

    I'm guessing you're talking about sub-100 population in a specific grade, not total in all grades.

    Condition rarity not absolute rarity.

    Correct?

    I'm talking about the total population in all grades. Each coin has less than 100 estimated in existence regardless of grade.

    Would one not have to research the three major TPG's to get closer to a total population? Even then, how accurate could you be when including those collectors who don't slab?

    As I said in my OP I'm using the Coinfacts estimated populations for both grading services.

    I like the 1842 $2.50.

    I have a few that meets the criterion. Here's my best. Estimated surviving population for the 1866 $2.50 in all grades is 40 (per Coinfacts). 1866 is tied for 5th among Lib $2.50's for rarity.

    Gawd I don't know where to start. First off, what I'm showing is not grades, TPG pop or date/mm -- rather totals for all specimens known to exist. 1837 Feuchtwanger HT 265 non-proof strike, Unique and unrecorded imageimage. Gilfoil Copper. c. 1770. Unique imageimage Vermont Ryder 15 1787 Bust Left. Twenty known. imageimage. Vermont Ryder 26 about 25 known. imageimage. 1688 (1828) American Plantation Token Newman 5-D. About 6O known. imageimage

    1964 SMS Kennedy Half, My SP67 PCGS Example as Depicted on CoinFacts

    Pop 12 in all grades at PCGS. Having bought and sold a lot of these (singles and sets), I think most of the formerly NGC-slabbed coins have been crossed to PCGS holders by now.

    Great Thread!

    I too am fascinated with the ultra rare coins.

    I mean the truly rare ones....not condition rare, not even TPG graded rare....I mean the ones reported to only have a few surviving examples in existence!!!

    .........NE Shilling rare.........1794 Star Reversed Cent rare......1796 Jefferson Head Large Cent rare.....1794 Dollar rare........





    ......I collect old stuff......

    This fits quite a few world coins...but I posted just those that I think would fit the criteria of 50 total in a "mature" population report

    Pop 1/0. Total population of 6

    How about an 1874-cc dime? I doubt there are more than 99 in existence. Pop reports are so flawed I wouldn't look them for pop verification....even if it might be >100
    doesn't mean that half of them aren't dupes.

    Other seated business strikes with <100 (varieties not included as that's too easy)

    1878-s half
    1870-cc, 1871-cc, 1872-s quarters? (those would be close)

    No brainers:

    1873-cc NA quarter
    1873-cc NA dime
    1853-0 NA half
    1870-s half dime
    and others I can't currently recall.

    PCGS Pop is 52 for all overdated 1808/7's combined.

    $5 1808/7 Breen-6455, B-2A. Rarity-5 Obverse Struck Thru Mint Error ex Harry W. Bass Jr. collection, formally Quality Sales Corporation’s auction of the estate of John A. Beck, Part I, January 1975, Beck began collecting in the late 1860's. It's the only John Reich error known for this series, as it has a large planchet strike through imperfection which covers star 4 on the obverse. The obverse also has a diagonal bisecting die crack from the border at 1:00 through the cap and head of Miss Liberty to star 2. Another die crack from the border through star 11 almost reaches the hair.
