Rarest Modern Coin You Own

1987 Isle of Man proof 1 Angel (with Papal Visit privy). 1 of 100 COA from Pobjoy Mint.

Nice.

I did ask Pobjoy about the mintage of my coin and any other 1/4 oz gold coins, but they weren't forthcoming, stating that they were minted for private organisations and numbers were therefore commercially sensitive.

I suppose their demise makes it less likely we will ever know.

2022 piedfort double sovereign with a mintage of 70.

Technically a pattern proof but a nice modern rarity in my doubles collection!

For no apparent reason, 1980.

They made coins after 1980? 😲 😁

I can honestly say, although I do have coinage from the modern era, nothing less than the millions/billions.

I suspect my rarest would be the dateless 2008 20p (mintage unknown) or the circulation only die variety of 2006 10p, in which I have only seen one coin from every single 2006 I've checked over the past 15 years.

I think this is the rarest one I have. Never seen another bullion 2016 half sovereign knocking about. Marsh has it at fewer than 500 so pretty rare 👍🏼

Cheers for the tip off. Bought one from bbp this morning when they had 3 left. They've now sold out.

Nice one. What were they charging if you don’t mind?

Well I never! Bought one on Tuesday from my jewellers amongst a batch of 8. First half’s I’ve ever bought and only had them because he wanted rid and did them at 190 for me. Haven’t had a chance to check them in Marsh yet!

This took me years to find, happy now to have in my collection, one of only 60 minted.

What was this? 

Started collecting in late 2013 only, so I didn't follow the events, issues and mintages pre-2013 first-hand...

It is from a set that was Struck on 02nd June 2012,to mark the first day of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, 

The set had an issue of only Sixty, Double, Sovereign ,and half all in BU.

This is the Double, and was only issued in this set, so there are only Sixty on the market.

The Sovereign and the Half where struck on the 02nd June, so only 60 of those on that day, however it's the same strike as the carded and other's  for that year.

Almost sure it's the first ever BU double Sovereign ever minted, I think the rest for Queen Elizabeth up to that date are Proofs, and there where a few circulation strikes prior, however none in BU.
