Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 1,000-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? 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 $2,300 for this 1,000-mintage PR65?
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 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%.
