I could list several reasons but for me it's mostly curiosity. I see coins (buffalos) being sold on eBay claiming "low mintage" among other things. Being able to verify the sellers claims would be helpful. Are there a commonly accepted definitions for low mintage?

For older coins, I refer to the Red Book.

The US Mint lists mintage numbers for some of the American Eagle coins here:

And circulating coin production figures here:

For recent or still available coins, the weekly Mint Stats on Numismaster are the best. (linked by Fish74)

Just a side note, the Royal Canadian Mint is listing the mintage for all their gold coins and silver coins.

Gold coins: http://www.mint.ca/store/buy/gold_coins-cat120004

Silver coins: http://www.mint.ca/store/buy/silver_coins-cat120006

I totally think US mint should be more transparent on this.

I always look at mintages before i buy a coin!! I guess the right thing to do is just buy everything you can no matter how much money you lose???
