Mintage just 3,000 plus 1,000 proofs, second lowest of business strikes. 

🔵 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 more emphasis on eye appeal than CAC does, and approves the same low percentage of coins.

✅ 90% BUYBACK GUARANTEE: Within three years from payment, we will repurchase this choice coin for at least 90% of the purchase price, less Ebay/PayPal fees, sales tax, and postage. Coin and holder must be undamaged. Original buyer only. CMQ sticker and Eye Appeal Seal must still be affixed. 

✅ GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICE: We will beat any other Ebayer's price by 25% of the difference. Compared coins must be identically certified, aesthetically similar, and in stock. Valid at time of purchase only. Also applies to most of our other certified items. 

Top 1% eye appeal under a grader's (or white) light. Smooth for the grade. Boldly struck. Partial CAMEO. 

Tiny 3,000 mintage plus 1,000 proofs, second lowest of all business strikes. Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins.

Vastly undervalued key date. For proof (no pun intended), see our 90% buyback guarantee above. 

Almost all 3CS proofs are darkly toned because, due to slow sales, most languished for years at the Philly Mint, which was then a block from the toning-causing Delaware River. 

One of our favorite dates in our favorite proof series due to the ultra-low mintage of the business strikes and their proof counterparts, huge percentage of both formats that were melted (see Breen Encyl), relatively low prices, and collectibility. 

TRADE SECRET: Easily PR67 CAMEO by third-tier slab and raw standards, PR68 DEEP CAMEO after the usual doctoring. 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%). 

PCGS heavily markets BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But PCGS ignores this 1,000-mintage key trime 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 $1,499 for this 1,000-mintage key? 

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 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 expenses, as we will for this rare coin. Or even 1%.
