Description: NOTE: CAC sticker affixed after slab photo taken (click the third image). $1,295 auction sale for mere PR62 non-CAMEO, non-CAC in 2019 (click the eighth image), proof that the price sheets are way too low for this major key date. π΄ 90% BUYBACK GUARANTEE: Within three years from payment, we will repurchase this choice coin for at least 90% of the purchase price, less Ebay fees, postage, and sales tax (if any). Coin and holder must be undamaged. CAC and any other stickers must still be affixed. Original buyer only. π΄ GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICE: We will beat any other Ebayer's price by 25% of the difference. Compared coins must be identically certified, aesthetically similar, and in stock. Valid at time of purchase only. Also applies to most of our other certified items. β Green CAC = choice, high-end, possibly under-graded. β Fussy CAC has approved just 6% of all proof Seated dimes certified by PCGS and NGC. Mintage 8,000 plus 725 proofs, third lowest total of all dimes ever minted (1796 to today). Vastly undervalued key date. Stunning contrast under a grader's light as the posted scans prove. Few and light marks for PR64 CAMEO. Boldly struck. Die polish lines (not hairlines) add pizzaz. A touch of light, pretty toning on the obverse rims. The Mint substituted business strikes in some of the proof sets (see Breen Encycl, p 316), which is the source of most Gems. TRADE SECRET: Easily PR68 DEEP CAMEO by third-tier slab and raw standards even without the usual doctoring. Stick with NGC or PCGS, and ignore excuses from third-tier dealers (ask them if they will buy back for 90% less seller's fees, as we will for this conservatively graded rarity. Or even 10%). HISTORICAL YEAR: President Andrew Johnson officially declared the end of the Civil War on August 20, 1866 even though the actual fighting stopped on April 9, 1865. Many dealers heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 725-mintage key because it is far too rare to promote and from which to profit, so demand and thus prices stay absurdly low. Seriously, $10,500 PCGS Price Guide for a 5.4 BILLION-mintage 1975 penny in two grades below MS70? And $10,000 for a "rare" 4.5 BILLION-mintage 1975-D cent in the same imperfect grade? We would not pay $5 for either. But we ask just $1,499 for this 725-mintage key CAMEO? Most modern coins can be bought at or near face value, melt value, or Mint-issue price; placed in a $4 plastic slab (PCGS bulk rate); and sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But try doing that with with this 725-mintage key. We deal only in truly rare coins, not fabricated illusions designed to make coin dealers rich. Ask your modern coin dealer if he will buy back for 90% less seller's fees, as we will for this rare coin. Or even 10%. Is this a doubled die, repunched date, misplaced date, clashed die, or other variety, known or even unknown? We do not have time to check. But when we do examine proof Seated dimes under a microscope, we often discover listed or even unlisted varieties. AVOID RAW COINS! We know of many dealers who have become fabulously wealthy by grossly over grading choice rarities like this. Stick with NGC and PCGS, and ignore excuses from third-tier coin sellers (ask them if they will buy back for 90% less selling fees, as we will for this conservatively graded CAMEO. Or even 10%).
