AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Not legal tender anymore
No damage, as in the pictures
Gold is .900 7.17g
It weighs 7.96g

For the B mint specifically, the earlier 1873-B type had a recorded mintage of 3,441,178. The 1874-B figures aren’t publicly available without a paid subscription, but given the Hannover Mint closed in 1878, the 1874-B mintage would have been a small fraction of the total.
The B mint only operated 1874–1878 — just 4 years for this specific type of coin.
A huge proportion of these coins were melted down over the past 150 years
