I'm trying to figure out if a coin I have is rare or not. I'm looking for ways to identify its rarity, maybe based on its age, condition, mintage, or other factors. Can anyone help me with this?

    The 19th century also witnessed the minting of numerous coins that are generally deemed rare, though there are a few exceptions to this rule.

    Moving into the 20th century, coins become less likely to be considered rare. However, this does not mean that all 20th-century coins are common.

    Despite the increased mintage during this period, there are still some 20th-century coins that meet the criteria for rarity, often due to unique circumstances or errors in production.

    Determining the rarity of a coin involves several factors, but one of the simplest methods is to examine its date.

    Coins that predate the year 1800 are often considered rare due to their historical significance and limited mintage.
