Lincoln Cents Ranked By Mintage

It occurred to me most lists of coins arrange a series by date so its easy to look up a price or mintage.  I thought it would be interesting to rearrange the list in order of rarity.  Below I have the Lincoln Cent series 1909 through 2014 (no S in my checklist as yet).  The list does not include die varieties since mintage figures do not exist.

Topping the list is the 1964 Special Strike with an estimated 20-50 specimens produced.  PCGS has a short essay explaining their existence.  The early Matte Proofs round out the Top 10, followed by Proof Wheats of the 30s-50s, with the much desired 1909-S VDB coming in at #26.

#27 and #28 are interesting: the 2010 P and D Satin Uncirculated Lincoln Cents with a mintage of only 583,897 each.  These were produced only 8 years ago but have become the forgotten stepchild of the series.  Those Satins, available only in Mint Sets 2005-2010, start high on the list and can be had quite affordably.  ALL Satin finish cents are in the Top 50.

Modern Proofs, 1968-date are quite prominent, taking up most of the top 1/3 of the list.  The only business strikes in the Top 100 are 1909-S VDB (#26), 1931-S (#42), 1914-D (#49), 1909-S (#56), and 1924-D (#62).

There are 376 different dates/grades/finishes in this list.
