$19,200 APR for doctored PR62RB in May 2022 versus its then-$9,500 Price Guide value (click the sixth image). Our non-doctored, CMQ-approved PR62BN is a bargain by comparison.
$23,499 next cheapest on the market, a conserved PR63BN (seventh image). Again, this non-doctored, CMQ-approved PR62BN is a bargain by comparison, especially since we believe it would upgrade after conservation.
🔵 CMQ = David Hall's version of a CAC sticker, which thus denotes superior eye appeal and technical quality. Hall is PCGS's founder and the greatest grading expert and coin dealer of all time. Both he and Greg Roberts, another numismatic superstar, must agree on any coin's CMQ approval. Billion-dollar companies make a buy/sell market in CMQ coins. CMQ places far more emphasis on eye appeal than CAC does. Picky CMQ approves merely a small minority of coins submitted.
We are unsure from where PCGS got their PR62BN value as their PR63BN price inexplicably jumps to $17,500. And a major Ebay dealer lists a PR63BN for $23,499 (fifth image).
PCGS said BN but faint colors under a grader's light.
BN population ONE below PR63 with just three in RB and zero in RED.
Very few and light marks for PR62. Razor sharp strike. Non-doctored, unlike most lower grade proofs. We believe would upgrade after professional conservation.
Only 420 released (some of which were spent, melted, buried, lost, thrown into fountains, etc.). The population reports are grossly inflated with resubmissions and crossovers of the same coins.
Extremely prestigious and highly sought-after "superkey" date. Vastly undervalued considering rarity versus demand.
Sheet prices are too low due to the lack of auction appearances and thus pricing data.
Sure to be the centerpiece of any Lincoln cent collection. Impress your friends, neighbors, and even your mother-in-law.
Mintage 1,152 times lower than 1909-S VDB's yet costs just three times more in this grade.
TRADE SECRET: Easily PR67 by third-tier slab and raw standards, PR68 RED after the usual doctoring and resulting color change. Stick with NGC and PCGS, and ignore excuses from third-tier coin seller.
We know of many dealers who have become fabulously wealthy by grossly over grading sought-after rarities like this choice smoothie. Stick with NGC and PCGS, and ignore excuses from third-tier coin sellers.
