Definition: Mintage is the quantity of a particular coin that the mint produced. Usually this is one of the determining factors as to the value of a coin, but sometimes due to hoarding, the value might be lower. Conversely, due to the lack of specimens being saved, the value may be higher than coins with a similar mintage.
Also Known As: Quantity
Examples:
The mintage of the 1909 – S V.D.B. Lincoln cent is very low and hence it is very valuable.
