Description: True Civil War date in proof! Proof sets delivered April 15, three days after the war started (see Breen Encycl, p 274, Breen-2933). Total PCGS population just 132 in ALL grades combined including non-CAMEO, CAMEO, and DEEP CAMEO, plus merely 93 at NGC, by far the lowest totals of ANY date in the entire "Legend on Obverse" type. 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. Actual released mintage is in the 300's as per the Breen Encycl, p 296. But the true mintage is 220 going by proportional populations. Excellent eye appeal under a grader's (or white) light. Few and light marks for PR64. Boldly struck. Conservative grade. TRADE SECRET: Easily PR68 CAMEO by third-tier slab and raw standards even without the usual doctoring. Stick with NGC and PCGS, and 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%). Many dealers heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 1,000-mintage Civil War key date (in proof) 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 1,000-mintage Civil War artifact? 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 1,000-mintage key date (in proof). 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 legitimately rare coin. Or even 1%.
