Answer:

 

1931-S. Only 194,000 pieces were struck in January before production was suspended for lack of demand. The Mint Director's office requested a resumption of minting in November to avoid a rarity.

 

Our first place winner Atlas will receive The Official 2009 Red Book, 62nd Edition. Congratulations to our runner up Walt666, you'll be receiving a display box.

 

Please stop by this Friday for the PMG Numisma-Quest question.
