Reflective fields. Ultra-choice for PR62. Boldly struck. Posted images simulate appearance under a grader's light although it is much nicer in hand.
$3,840 auction price realized in 2023 for PR60 Details with "artificial toning" (click the fourth image).
$4,500+ for damaged PR60 Details at huge PNG dealer. It somehow has 10 watchers (fifth image).
$3,850 PCGS Price Guide as of this posting.
🔴 90% BUYBACK GUARANTEE: Within three years from payment, we will repurchase this choice coin for at least 90% of the purchase price, less Ebay fees, postage, and sales tax (if any). Coin and holder must be undamaged. Original buyer only.

Worth a premium for the tiny 600 mintage, among the lowest productions of all proof silver dollars ever minted (1794 to today). Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins.
Excellent eye appeal for the grade and price. Very few and light marks for PR62. Boldly struck. Free of the heavy doctoring seen on many if not most in this modest grade.
Many PCGS PR62's are really just heavily doctored PR60's or even worse. But this NGC PR62 is solid for the grade. In fact, worse are in PCGS PR63 slabs.
NGC can actually grade these more conservatively as evidence by NGC's population of 23 versus PCGS's 35.
TRADE SECRET: Easily PR66 CAMEO by third-tier slab and raw standards, PR67 DEEP CAMEO after the usual doctoring. Ask your third-tier dealer if he will buy back for 90% less selling 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 600-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 $3,850 for this 600-mintage key date?
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 600-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%.
NEVER BUY 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%).
1869 was a historical year: postage stamps showed pictorial scenes for the first time, the first transcontinental railroad was completed, the Suez Canal opened, the Cincinnati Red Stockings became the first professional baseball team, the Supreme Court increased to nine justices from its prior seven, the Carson City Mint opened, margarine was patented, a Boston hotel was the first to have indoor plumbing, and free postal delivery began. And Mahatma Gandhi, Grigori Rasputin, Neville Chamberlain, Typhoid Mary, and this coin were born.
