    Description

    You will receive the nicest of two in stock, not necessarily the imaged coin. Both have deep toning but nice colors under a light, very few flaws for PR64, partial Cameos, powerful strikes, and non-doctored surfaces. Both could upgrade after a dip but we prefer originality.
    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.
    Rarest business strike 3CS. Just 1,000 minted plus 950 proofs. Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins.
    Easily PR68 by third-rate slab standards and Superb Gem Proof +++ by "commercial" raw coin criteria, after the usual doctoring. Unless your dealer is legendary expert Warren Mills of RCONH (no affiliation whatsoever), avoid raw coins and third-rate slabs. Stick with PCGS and NGC.
    Neither conserved nor doctored, unlike most 3CS proofs in "problem free" PCGS slabs (yes, most).
    Could upgrade after conservation but we prefer originality.
    Dealers and PCGS heavily market BILLION-mintage modern coins, which creates artificial demand, grossly inflated prices, and GIGANTIC profits. But they ignore this 950-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 we ask just ,699 for this 950-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 950-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 fees, as we will for this "Superkey". Or even 10%.
