Description: Top 1% eye appeal. Much nicer in hand. Obviously worth a large premium for the gorgeous blue and violet toning. 🔴 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. 🔴 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. ✅ Green CAC = choice, high-end, possibly under-graded. ✅ Fussy CAC has approved just ONE of all 1911 proof cents below PR63 (ALL colors) certified by PCGS and NGC. Low 1,733 mintage (some were spent, lost, mutilated, buried, etc.). Many tallied in the population reports (including CAC's) are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Mintage 221 times lower than 1909-S VDB's yet costs five times less. Easily PR68 by third-tier slab and raw standards, PR69 RED after the usual doctoring and resulting color change. Stick with NGC and PCGS; ignore excuses from third-tier coin sellers (ask them if they will buy back for 90% less seller's fees as we will for this conservatively graded coin. Or even 10%). Even reputable dealers and PCGS itself could easily grade this choice specimen higher, possibly even PR64 or finer. Ironically, we have seen PCGS PR65's that grade no better than PR62! And we once owned a PCGS PR66RB that PCGS regraded PR63BN (PCGS honored their guarantee by reimbursing us). Superb Gem Proof by vintage mail-order standards. Eye appeal of a much higher grade. CAC population merely ONE in all grades and colors below PR63. Many dealers heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 1,733-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 $699 for this 1,733-mintage beauty? 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 1,733-mintage key. We only deal 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 1%.
