Description: Only 18,000 minted plus 460 proofs. Underpriced key Civil War date. $1,200 and $1,260 recent CAC auctions sale (click the fifth and sixth images). 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 6% of all proof Seated half dimes certified by PCGS and NGC. Stunning under a grader's light. Reflective fields. Nearly full CAMEO. Boldly struck. Very few and light marks for PR64. Non-doctored, unlike many Seated proofs in "problem free" PCGS slabs. Could upgrade as is or even more so after conservation but we prefer originality over profit. Tiny 460 mintage; some were spent, melted, buried, lost, mutilated, etc. Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Business strike mintage 18,000 -- fourth lowest after 1805. Thus, one of the major keys to the set. Vastly undervalued key date. Mint-made die polish lines (NOT hairlines) add pizazz. Many PCGS PR64's are really just doctored PR63's or even worse. But this NGC PR64 is very strong for the grade with great eye appeal for a non-doctored 1863.
