I myself found all except 55.

There is another club you missed. It is the 1995 silver proof club. I found one myself but I believe less people found a 1995 silver proof than those found a 55 Ben. The mintage of 95 silver proof is very low.

Price wise, you have to pay between $40-50 to buy a 1995 silver proof in order to fill a hole if you can't find one in the wild. However you only need to pay $15-25 to buy a 1955 MS ben.

GMan00001 has a good point. I think I recall all of those coins mentioned. Myself I even found a few of the tough ones including a Capped Bust (letter edged, teller handed it to me). I've found many 1970s but alas no 1955 half. If you spend enough time in the hobby strange things appear and often when you least expect it! I agree good topic! :icon_thumright:

I agree with GMan and maine_Jim. Except I'd have taken it one step further and also mentioned that wrong planchet half error that was found a month or so ago. That thing seemed pretty stinkin' exclusive to me. What comes to some of our twisted minds when you say "most exclusive", is just that, the coins found that would exclude the rest of us mortals. Those are by definition, the most exclusive. When I first read the title, I thought "hmmm... what CRH found coin would exclude the most people, but has been found here...oh man...that Roman coin killed us...so did that shield nickel....and that $5 gold...."

Kindest regards,
Kantuck

Yeah, I should've had it be more clear.. that was my mistake. When I first put up the title, I didn't think of all the different sorts of rarities that can be found out there.

I would have say the 1975 half dollar! I say this because there are probably 1500 tellers in my area looking for one and I know not one of them have found one. I keep telling them if they find one they can put their kid through college.

Good luck ladies!

What about the 1909-S or 1909-S VDB wheat penny club? Of course I only add that because I got one. Of course lots of guys on here do pennies so it's not so far fetched.

Big difference between the two. One valued at $50 and the other at $600 (1909S VDB)

I think the 1995 silver proof is very hard aswell. I got one, the 1955 franklin isnt too bad.

I don't think I saw anybody mention it - How about the 1971-D 40% silver?

So far this still is a urban legend. Anyone has a picture from PCGS or NGC to prove its existence?

Not an Urban legend. I think Rich found one a year or two ago. I found one years back and sold it with a bunch of 40%s by mistake. If it was made, it can be found with time.

I've never hear of it. I have a cherry picker's guide and it doesn't even mention it. I remember someone here found a half struck on a Taiwan planchet but not a 1971-D 40%er. Anyone here can verify?
