FUN FACTS
🔴
1909-O has nearly double the mintage and five times the population yet CU's for ,500 in this grade!
Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Even so, NGC population just 181 in ALL grades combined!
Mintage 18,201 -- fourth lowest of 's from 1885 to today!
Easily MS65 by third-tier slab and online/mail-order retail standards (,000 APR for a PCGS MS65; click the third image).
Neither conserved nor doctored, unlike many half eagles in "problem free" PCGS slabs.
One of several reasons for this date's underpricing is that it is frequently mistaken for a common date, even though it has the fifth lowest mintage of any from 1885 to date!
Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 18,201-mintage key because it is far too rare to promote and from which to profit, so demand and thus prices stay absurdly low.
Seriously, ,500 PCGS Price Guide for a 5.4 BILLION-mintage 1975 penny in two grades below MS70? We would not pay for it. But ask just ,250 for this 18,201-mintage key?
Most modern coins can be bought at or near face value, melt value, or Mint-issue price; placed in a plastic slab (PCGS bulk rate); and sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But try doing that with this 18,201-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 10%.
