Description: From the prestigious $30 million Hilt Collection (pedigree noted on NGC insert). $1,500 NGC Price Guide as of this posting. Excellent eye appeal under a grader's light, with mirrored fields, faint colors, and a bold strike. Few and light marks for PR65. π΄ 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. π΄ 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. Tiny 10,000 mintage plus 725 proofs, fourth lowest total of ALL half dimes ever minted (1794-onward) and second lowest of all Seated half dimes. Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Neither conserved nor doctored, unlike many Seated proofs in "problem free" PCGS slabs. We believe would upgrade after professional conservation but we prefer originality over profit. The Mint ran out of proofs, so they substituted business strikes in the proof sets! Vastly undervalued #2 key date to all Seated half dimes. From the prestigious $30 million Hilt Collection (pedigree noted on NGC insert). Many dealers heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 625-mintage key date 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 NGC Price Guides is just $1,500 for this 625-mintage PR65 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 625-mintage key date. 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%.
