Can you think of a coin with PCGS total population (all grades) of less than 100 that is not legitimately scarce? Exclude coins after 1946.
Post a coin that fits the definition, if you have one.

Rephrase the question and put a pre 1946 qualification to the US Coins to narrow the search
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

Probably should exclude patterns, too.
The 27S and 27D just miss with 117 each graded by PCGS.

The problem is trying to find ones that aren't beat up, scrubbed, dipped or cleaned.
Here's one that saw lots of action, but in my opinion, is very natural looking.

PCGS Pop is 84 total in all grades
The 1838-C is close with the above terms but total graded is 112, I could make a case that more than 12 were cracked and re-submitted

..............and here they both are. I've posted before about this, but I love to be able to say I own the entire population! Presenting the entire population of PCGS coin # 145747:
Some that come to mind include:
1814 E/A
181.7
1823 Ugly 3
1828 Small Letter Reverse
1836 50/00
And that's off the top of my head. I know there are several others in the CBH series.
PCGS total pop of 64
Doug Winter estimate of number of pieces extant: 65-75
and here's one that is PCGS total pop of 57, DW estimate of 85-95:

The coins that get the numismatic juices flowing. Nobody appreciates coins like this more than TwoSides2aCoin...
... with the exception of Longy, maybe
However, if you're looking for a coin with a total pop below 100 and you don't want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars, there are several Barber Dimes and Barber Quarters that can be found for a couple hundred bucks in lower grades, maybe even less than $100 for some.

1. 1946 DDR WLH- I did not check the pop reports so it could be an non-issue
2. 1859 5 Lib - low mintage, low pop and I am not sure where it would fit in based on interest
3. 1860 5 Lib- same story
I believe there are other candidates worthy of the most serious consideration
