Key Date Mintages
Key date coins are generally the rarest or most difficult coins of a series to obtain. One of the primary reasons for the rarity of the coins is a low mintage, often the lowest of the respective series. The table below lists mintage figures for the key date coins included on the site. This includes classic key coins like the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent to modern rarities like the 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle. In some cases mintages are estimated. This is the case for error coins where the exact number of coins released into circulation is not known.
