Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts' opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity By Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

#8 XF45 PCGS grade

Dale Friend Collection

#8 XF45 PCGS grade

#10 XF40 PCGS grade

This variety shares the same obverse as the 3 leaf. The date is clearly doubled with the first date low and second date high. There is only one reverse die. I owned the XF45 which is the finest graded by PCGS. This coin was formerly in the Queller collection. While not as sought after as the 3 leaf variety the O-112 is very difficult to locate. I always thought this variety was a sleeper.
