$749 CDN Ask for CAC. NGC said BN but faint colors under a grader's light.
Old 1990 slab in excellent condition, itself a cherished collectible.
CAC sticker affixed after slab photo taken.

✅ Green CAC = choice, high-end, possibly under-graded.
✅ Fussy CAC has approved just 6% of all 1870 2C proofs certified by PCGS and NGC (all colors and grades).
Neither conserved nor doctored, unlike many 2C proofs in "problem free" PCGS slabs.
Old NGC slabs with CAC stickers can skyrocket at auction.
VERY few and light marks for PR64 or even if it were PR65.
Old 1990 slab in excellent condition, itself a cherished collector's item.
Super PQ coin certified in 1990. We believe would upgrade today, even more so after professional conservation.
Any marks or lines are likely Mint-made lint marks. Non-doctored, sharply struck, partial CAMEO, thick "skin".
Low 1,000 mintage, some melted as per Breen Encycl. Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins.
Many PCGS PR64's are really just doctored PR63's or even worse. But this 1990-certified NGC PR64 is actually PR65 by recent PCGS standards, even finer after professional conservation.
TRADE SECRET: Easily PR69 by third-tier slab and raw standards, PR69 RED after the usual doctoring and resulting color change. 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 rarity 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 CDN Ask for CAC is just $749 for this 1,000-mintage 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. 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 rare coin. Or even 10%.
And note that "some" of the tiny 1,000 mintage were melted (see Breen Encycl).
AVOID RAW COINS! We know of many dealers who have become fabulously wealthy by grossly over grading choice rarities like this. Stick with NGC and PCGS, and ignore excuses from third-tier coin sellers (ask them if they will buy back for 90% less selling fees, as we will for this conservatively described beauty. Or even 10%).
