Notes on the Table
(1)'c' means 'Common'
(2) An empty cell means no coin is known to have been minted for that year/mint.
(3) The Table does not include the Cipher Series of 1796. This series is (or will be) treated elsewhere.
(4) Underlined coins are those in my collection. This is for my benefit. Sorry everyone else!
(5) Brekke and Uzdenikov have sharply different rarities for the 1789MM 5K and the 1795MM 5K.
Brekke considers both 'Excessively Rare'...basically unobtainable and found almost exclusively in museums.
