Default Your lowest mintage?

It's a certain three-year-old boy's borthday today! Yes, he's been
saddled for life with being an 'April Fool's Day' child, poor tyke.

I have been blasted by the evil Zurg about 45 times already and it's not
even 8AM.
;-)

Anyway, I spent a little time last night after wrapping Buzz Lightyear
in organizing some of the coins in my collection when I had one of those
strange, random,
I've-been-up-too-long thoughts. If your collection was organized from
lowest mintage to highest mintage for each coin, which piece that you
own would be #1?

I have some Barber Quarters, a few 19th century coins, even a 1798 Large
Cent (1,841,745) ;-) but the three 'smallest mintage' coins I own blow
those away. I'll do this as a contest.

Identify these three official US Legal Tender coins by their mintages:

47,955
50,030
57,272

and guess, within $50, what I paid to acquire the three of them. (Public
responses only, please, no e-mail!)

First correct answer by time-stamp gets as a prize, one of the US coins
that has seen the biggest increase in value since 12/01/03....a 1964
Kennedy Half Dollar, containing .36169 oz of silver. ;-)

My lowest mintage is a franklin mint Belize quarter with a mintage of 830.

My lowest US coin is a 1948-D BTW with a mintage of 4000-something. It's in VF
and thus is as close as you can get to unique.

Actually, Redbook gives a mintage of 8005 to your BTW. It's still an
order of magnitude lower than my three 'mini-mintages'. ;-)

It's almost scary how easy this kind of stuff is to look up on the internet.
These would be the Oregon, Cleveland, and Botanic Garden commems. I'll guess
you paid $100 +/- $50. If I win, I'll pass on the prize--the notion of a 10%
cut to the Post Office tells me Mr. Kennedy is better off at your house.

First off, my complaint is that Commemorative coins are not legal tender
coins...

Having said that they a

47,955 = 1926 Oregon Trail Memorial
50,030 = Cleveland Great Lakes Exposition
57,272 = 1997P Botanical Gardens Silver Dollar

Nice group of commems if I do say so myself. Congratz on having them in
your collection.

Oh yes they are. Very legal. You can spend them just as any other coin,
legally.
