Description: Much prettier and brighter in hand. Deeply mirrored fields. GORGEOUS faint gold toning with beautiful blue rim accents. $1,295 APR in 2019 for mere PR62 (click the fourth 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. 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. Mintage 8,000 plus 725 proofs, third lowest total of all dimes ever minted (1796 to today). Vastly undervalued key date. Exceptionally attractive. Few and light marks for PR63. Reflective, mirrored fields. Faint gold toning. Boldly struck. Conservatively graded. Full CAMEO reverse, obverse partially so. Not doctored unlike many Seated proofs in "problem free" PCGS slabs. Vastly undervalued key date in the price sheets. For "proof" (no pun intended), see our 90% Buyback Guarantee published above. TRADE SECRET: Easily PR67 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%). FUN FACT: The Mint ran out of proofs for their proof sets, so they substituted business strikes (see Breen Encycl, p 316). 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 PCGS Price Guide is just $1,000 for this 725-mintage key? 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 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, PCGS, or (in this case) ANACS 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 near-CAMEO beauty. Or even 10%). Member of prestigious CDN Exchange (aka Greysheet aka Coinplex) since 2011 and its third highest bidder in dollar volume. Fewer than 300 members worldwide.
