Help with Mintages for Early Canadian & Pre-Confederation Specimen Coinage

The title pretty much sums up my request. I have not been able to find definitive mintage data for the early specimen coinage and at the just finished FUN show I spoke with some Canadian dealers who could not point me in the proper direction, either. So...might anyone be able to help with either data or references? Thank you in advance.

Maybe if someone had access to the actual RCM mintage records the mintages might be reckoned.

The following 1919-C Newfoundland SP64BN is the reason why I asked. It has a total PCGS population of three and a total ICCS population of two after a combined fifty-odd years of certification by these two companies. Additionally, Heritage has offered a total of zero of these in their years of operation. The coin is in a PCGS OGH and looks to be undergraded, but that is the least of my concerns.

I have a specimen GB 1922 penny in NGC64BN that has even less marks & have seen pieces looking similar to that just posted at 62 or 63. Let's not go there with matte coin grading by either major service!

I've seen in-hand the piece in this thread and it is not a 62 or 63.
