Description: $52,000 for MS62 at #1 rarities dealer, so the scarce 600-mintage proofs are a bargain, esp Gems like this PR65 (click the fourth image). You will receive the nicest of two or more, not necessarily the imaged coin. But you will always get the photographed coin unless otherwise noted. Key date inexplicably priced as a common date in proof, even though other key date proofs can sell for nearly as much as the business strikes, such as 1877 cents and 1844 dimes. Mintage 40,000 plus 600 proofs, some proofs melted as per Breen Encyl, p 355. Many proofs tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Closed 3 was changed to Open 3 on many denominations because it looked too much like an 8. There are only Closed 3 No Arrows proof quarters, no Open 3's. Quite possibly the most underpriced Seated proof of ANY denomination or date considering the rarity of business strikes. For proof (no pun intended), see our 90% Buyback Guarantee above. Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 600-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 $2,250 for this 600-mintage PR65 key date? 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 600-mintage key date PR65. We deal only in truly rare coins, not fabricated illusions designed to make coin dealers rich.
