A dealer's buy price sits under both melt and retail on purpose — that spread is the margin that keeps the doors open. Ours is listed openly instead.

- 1895-O is a genuine key date that does turn up. (The famous 1894-S, with only 24 struck, is a museum-piece rarity, not something to expect to find.)
