    Easily a ,200 PR65 by third-tier slab and commercial mail-order standards, PR66 after the usual doctoring.
    Tiny 550 mintage (some were spent, melted, buried, lost, mutilated, etc.). Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins.
    Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 550-mintage Civil War artifact because it is far too rare to promote and from which to profit, so demand and thus prices stay absurdly low.
    Seriously, ,500 PCGS Price Guide for a 5.4 BILLION-mintage 1975 penny in two grades below MS70? And ,000 for a "rare" 4.5 BILLION-mintage 1975-D cent in the same imperfect grade? We would not pay for either. But PCGS Price Guide is just 5 for this 550-mintage Civil War artifact?
    Most modern coins can be bought at or near face value, melt value, or Mint-issue price; placed in a plastic slab (PCGS bulk rate); and sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But try doing that with with this 550-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 10%.
