Description: GORGEOUS colors under a grader's (or white) light, as the posted scans suggest. $1,645 auction sale for PR61 non-CAC in newer holder that had zero chance of upgrading, strong evidence that this #1 key date is vastly undervalued in the price sheets (click the fifth image). Eye Appeal Seal affixed after slab photo taken. π΄ FUN FACTS π΄ Mintage 6,000 plus 625 proofs, lowest total of ALL dimes ever minted (1796 to today!). Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Some dealers would errantly sell as a $10,000 business strike, either knowingly or not. Sometimes, even PCGS and NGC call business strikes "proof" and vice versa. At times, even experts cannot distinguish the difference. To further confuse matters, some proofs have business strike reeding. And most have weakly struck areas, which suggests business strike status. Deeply mirrored, few and light marks for PR65, nicely struck, partial CAMEO, stunning eye appeal. Non-doctored, unlike many Seated proofs in "problem free" PCGS slabs. Vastly undervalued #1 key to the entire U.S. dime set (1796 to today). The prices sheets are far too low for this rare, key date. For proof (no pun intended), see our 90% buyback guarantee above. Repunched Date, F-103, R5. The Mint ran out of proofs for their proof sets, so they substituted business strikes. Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 625-mintage #1 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 we ask just $1,999 for this 625-mintage PR65 #1 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 this 625-mintage #1 key. We only deal in truly rare coins, not fabricated illusions designed to make coin dealers rich.
