The whole thing? Or something specific about it?
I know I have several R8 varieties in my collection, but technically every one of my coins is unique

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
<< <i>1804 silver dollar as well as my 1964 peace dollar and 1933 Saint.........ooops did I say too much? >>
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my '65 clad Peace Dollar.
But it's hard to know, as we'll never know the full story on meltings and poplulations for these circulated items.
Do I get to count darkside?
My father gave me a Cambodian aluminum coin that has a mintage of something like 1,001. It's not worth much because no one wants one....
But it is pretty rare.
Last I looked it had a pop in that grade of about 26 at PCGS.
When I sent my 53-S C/W in to be graded it was the 14th one graded MS-66, but the pop is now up in the 60's.

Kinda looks like the cover of Bob Dylan's "Self Portrait" album.

<< <i>Sort of hard to choose, but I think a 1869 half eagle with a documented mintage of 1,760 pieces and a PCGS population of 33 would be the 'rarest' coin in my collection.

If yer gonna post that nickel, I at least have to post my half eagle. It's almost the size of a nickel! But the similarities END THERE.
I know I've shown this a few times before, but I just can't help it, I love this coin. It even won me a prize on another forum!

I have dozens that meet that def. But I have many coins that have much higher mintages with many fewer surviving. --Jerry

Yikes! Kinda reminds me of Superman's Bizarro World.

Looks like Monet's rarely shown "Jefferson on a Nickel".
Not exactly a high grade but my lowest mintage coin so far......just 47,150 and not a whole lot remaining these days.
<< <i>Anyone got this in 1/4p?
What the heck is this? I've never seen this one before.

My lowest POP 5/2 is a 1865 1c PR64RDCAM
Click on the link below,then click on the IHC, it's in my set.
Looks just like the 1859 IHC except for the date.

Now THAT'S an elite collector!
I can't say I own any real rarities. The 1879/8 PR64 Shield is maybe the "rarest" I have. Definitely among my favorites that I have. I purchased this from forum member "zeebob".

My rarest die variety piece is an 1803 Small Date half dime. It is rated as an R-6 with a population of less than 20 pieces known. You would not have guessed that from the Red Book listing of the piece.
So far as tokens go I have a number of pieces with estimated populations of few than 10 pieces.
