You will receive the nicest of two 1879 NGC MS64 PL's in stock, not necessarily the imaged coin.
$2,495 for highest mintage date in MS64 PL at major dealer (click the 2nd image).
1916-D dime has 19X the mintage and 26X the total population yet CU's for $45,000 in this grade (non-PL)!
Many tallied in the population reports (including CAC's) are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Even so, NGC population just 188 in ALL grades combined counting non-PL's and PL's.
Mintage 14,000 -- lowest from 1879 to today!
Neither conserved nor doctored, unlike many Seated coins in "problem free" PCGS slabs.
Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 14,000-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? We would not pay $5 for it. But we ask just $1,999 for this 14,000-mintage MS64PL?
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 14,000-mintage key. We only deal in truly rare coins, not fabricated illusions designed to make coin dealers rich.
