Current fixed-price retail

One current directly comparable raw professional-dealer fixed-price ask: $538; too few asks for a retail range.

Market / specialist note

Low-confidence, highly dispersed exact-comparable market. A repeat sale remains among the 13 observations; rare variants and special-market outliers are separate.

What affects this price?

Even within one ruler, denomination and type, grade, strike, centering, surfaces, style, patina, rarity, provenance, and tooling or smoothing can materially change value. These are not automatic numeric adjustments.
