Description: $5,040 auction sale for another PR65BN in 8/22 versus its then-$1,450 CU (click the fifth image). $4,000 for non-CAC PR65BN (sixth image). Prettier in hand (the images do not get the colors exactly right). One of the most beautiful 1872 2C proofs that we have ever seen in ANY grade or color. 🔴 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).

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. ✅ Green CAC = choice, high-end, possibly under-graded. ✅ Fussy CAC has approved just 7% of all 1872 2C proofs certified by PCGS and NGC. NGC said BN but SPECTACULAR colors under a grader's (or white) light Many colorful high-grade 2C proofs being cranked out of PCGS and NGC had been artificially toned using MS70 Coin Brightener, a sulfur solution, and/or other solution or compound. But those sneaky coin doctors did not need to touch this spectacular gem because it was already naturally toned in universe-shattering violets, blues, golds, reds, etc. #1 key date as a business strike. Mintage just 65,000 plus merely 950 proofs. Many of both formats tallied in the population reports (including CAC's) are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Easily PR69RB CAMEO by third-tier slab and raw standards even without the usual doctoring. Stick with NGC and PCGS; ignore excuses from third-tier coin sellers. Tiny 950 mintage (some were spent, melted, lost, mutilated, etc.). Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins. Definitely not the usual dull PR65BN. Literally the prettiest 1872 proof that we have ever seen. Colors this attractive can bring GIGANTIC premiums at auction.Many dealers 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, $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 we ask just $1999 for this 950-mintage PR65 key with monster colors? 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 950-mintage key. We only deal in truly rare coins, not fabricated illusions designed to make coin dealers rich.
