This page offers mint rarity estimates of Eudes deniers, based on the number of known coins from each mint cited in Georges Depeyrot's Le Numeraire Carolingien, Paris 1993. This looks at known holdings by major museums and known collections. These numbers do not suggest the total number of coins in each category,just those catalogued in the collections reviewed. Hence, this is a suggestion of relative rather than absolute scarcity. Depeyrot generally cites higher numbers of coins than Morrison and Grundal, by mint, so his numbers are used. MG note a coin from Corbie I can't match to Depeyrot. Depeyrot (p 75) offers a good discussion of denier production during the Carolingian era.
The ‘most common' column reflects numbers of the most common type, whereas the ‘total' column reflects the most common and other, less common deniers from that mint. The rank order is by the second column, total number of coins by mint, regardless of type (if applicable).
I'd be interested if anyone seeing this has a better way of judging relative rarity.
