Description: Insanely beautiful under a grader's light despite being 100% non-doctored. $1,527 auction sale for non-CAC that had no chance of upgrading, proof that this rare date is undervalued in the price sheets and can explode at auction (click the fifth image). True Civil War issue: proof sets delivered April 15, three days after the war started (see Breen Encycl, p 274, Breen-2933). šµ 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 every coin's CMQ approval. Billion-dollar companies make a buy/sell market in CMQ coins. CMQ places far more emphasis on eye appeal than CAC does. Picky CMQ approves merely a small minority of coins submitted. š“ 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. š“ 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. ā Green CAC = choice, high-end, possibly under-graded. ā Fussy CAC has approved just FOUR. Total NGC population just 93 in ALL grades combined including non-CAM, CAM, and UCAM, by far the lowest total of ANY date in the entire type. True Civil War issue: proof sets delivered April 15, three days after the war started (see Breen Encycl, p 274, Breen-2933). Brilliant, faint orange-copper toning, 100% non-doctored, nicely struck, deeply mirrored fields, very few and light marks for PR64, full CAMEO reverse (obverse partially so). By far the lowest total population of the entire proof type (counting non-CAM, CAM, and DCAM). Actual released mintage is in the 300's, the rest were melted (see Breen Encycl, p 296). But the true mintage is 220 going by relative proportional populations. From the $20 million Hilt Collection. Pedigree noted on NGC insert. Close to full CAMEO and PR65. PCGS Price Guide jumps to $4,750 for PR65CAM! True Civil War issue: proof sets delivered April 15 (see Breen Encycl, p274, Breen-2933). Conservatively graded beauty could upgrade as is or even more so after professional conservation but we prefer originality over profit. TRADE SECRET: Easily PR69 DEEP CAMEO by third-tier slab and raw standards even without 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%).
