What is the best-sourced number for it?

Figure
$9,600
Kind
Realized at auction
Date
April 2022

Universal CGC 9.8, 30-cent regular edition (NOT the scarce 35-cent variant), realized $9,600 at Heritage Apr 2022 per CGC's article. The 30-cent in 9.8 rarely trades. The 35-cent variant is far more valuable (a CGC 9.4 sold $25,000 in 2017).

This is a realized sale. Somebody paid it. Source.

How this is made

The figure
One reference price, taken from a named public source and shown with its own kind. FLOAT does not average it with anything or adjust it for time.
Realized or not
A realized price is a completed sale. A market asking price and a price-guide value are not sales, and are labeled as such wherever they appear.
Why no grade ladder
Most FLOAT 100 entries are individual objects. There is one of this, so there is no population and no spread across grades to show.
