Description: $12 million Teich Family Collection pedigree, notated on PCGS insert. Mintage 425 -- lowest from 1859 to today! Sleeper #1 key date in proof! $1,080 auction sale for identically certified with n chance of upgrading (click the third image), "proof" that this underrated key date proof can explode at auction. 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. 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. Just 425 minted, lowest of proof dimes from 1859 to today. And some of those precious few were spent, melted, mutilated, lost, etc. Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Deep toning lightens considerably under a grader's light and looks much nicer in hand. Mirrored fields. Boldly struck. Very few and light marks for PR64. Non doctored, unlike many Barber proofs in "problem free" PCGS slabs. Could easily upgrade after professional conservation but we prefer originality over profit. Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 425-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? We would not pay $5 for it. But PCGS Price Guide is just $850 for this 425-mintage PR64? 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 this 425-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. Or even 10%. As with many other truly rare issues, PCGS Price Guide (PPG) is a joke. PPG values this 425-mintage rarity at just $850 yet a 5.4 BILLION-mintage 1975 penny at $10,500 in two grades below MS70 (we would not pay $5 for it). These diametrically contradicting PPG valuations suggest that PCGS is making most of its profit from certifying extremely common modern junk yet earning almost nothing from slabbing truly rare coins, so they trash the values of the latter to give credibility to their vast overpricing of the former. Just for fun, ask your dealer of modern junk if he will buy back for 90% less selling fees, as we will for this 425-mintage key date. Or even 1%. And note that PPG does not even reveal its mysterious formula for determining values. Gee, I wonder why.
