What's your lowest mintage coin?

Mine is 998, three different Mexican 1983 proof coins -- 20 and 50 centavos
and the Libertad.

For a coin, mine is Brazil, 4000 Reis silver, dated 1900, for the 400th
Anniversary of the Discovery of Brazil. Mintage, 6,850 pcs.

I have a lot of nice medals with mintages of less than 1,000.

I thought that the 1991 Mexican 2000 Peso Pattern was a lot more common
that 35 pieces, but perhaps I am thinking of another pattern from the
same era. There is one unissued Mexican coin in that era which is
quite common.

Since I'm not into patterns I hadn't known about the 2000 Peso pattern. The
1000 Peso pattern seems to be pretty common.

Yes, I believe that you are correct - it is the 1991 "ATALAN" 1000 peso
type that isn't too hard to obtain...

What is a "pattern" coin?

A pattern is a proposed design not adopted for use as a coin. The term
"pattern coin" realistically is an oxymoron, as opposed to many nitpickers,
who are simply plain morons.

Among American coins, a number of commemoratves have mintages of less
than 10K. In the modern series, the $5 golds have low mintages;
everyone knows about the 1997 $5 Jackie Robinson at 5,202.
Second-lowest, the 2001 $5 Capitol Visitor's Center at 6,762, barely
commands a premium.
