1896 S  only 1,403,925 were originally Minted; after the 1933 Gold Melt Down no one really knows how many are left but between PCGS & NGCs population reports a Total known today is only 11,722 which is far from the original mintage, and in this grade a total known is only 1,504 which really makes this a VERY RARE & Valuable Coin.

The population reports are really all we have to go by and you can't really rely on them because of the resubmissions. An opportunity like this only comes around once so don't pass it up. This Coin would make a great addition to anyone’s' collection, the new collector just starting out, and even for an investment, especially as HOT as gold is; Now is the time to buy. Feel free to ask any questions and thank-you for looking, good luck! Buyer pays $20.00 for shipping via UPS with free tracking

 Payment is by Paypal, Bank Check, Money Order, Postal Money Order or Personal check. Item is held for seven business days for a personal check to clear unless feedback rating is over 100 with no current poor ratings. Item ships within three days after the payment arrives unless it’s an occasional holiday, vacation, or sick day; then the speed of shipping will be slower. Confirmation of winning bid will be given unless otherwise noted. Payment must be received within seven business days otherwise auction can be voided and item re-listed. I reserve the right to cancel any or all my auctions at anytime and request that all bidders with poor feedback rating to follow the ebay rules and my auction rules. All items are sold as is. Shipping costs & ebay fees are not refundable. If an item breaks without insurance, please don't expect me to be liable because I normally pack all items with peanuts, bubble wrap, shredded newspaper, or insulated envelopes. Please keep in mind that postal services can get ruff at times with partials and boxes are dented, dropped or crushed on occasions. Without insurance you do take a small amount of risk. It hasn't happened yet in my 8 years on ebay, but buyer beware. The majority of ebay buyers don’t need to worry about this info but some buyers like the details of how sellers operate. Note: Once I had a remote/non-populated area to ship to and it forced me to pay higher shipping rates that you normally don’t see. On fixed price shipping, please inform me of this issue so we can adjust the shipping to not cause a loss (example, AK 99577). My intent on shipping is to have quality. This is achieved by years of packing skills, use of better shipping services when appropriate, mail the item out faster after the payment arrives, have more choices for payment to help the buyer and use the ebay auction site to mark when the item ships. There’s a package icon that appears next to the completed auctions when this occurs in your “Won” section after your signed-in with the buyers won ebay id. Thank you for reading all these details and information and I hope you made it through less confused and are better equipped to trust me as your seller and how I operate. I should give you a discount on shipping just for reading all this info?
