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.

Jaime Hernandez:

The $5 1999-W Uncirculated George Washington Gold commemorative was struck 200 years after George Washington's death.

Obverse: The obverse depicts George Washington's motif similar to the one used for Washington Quarters. However, Washington's bust is facing right on the Washington Commemorative as opposed to facing left as seen on Washington Quarters.

Reverse: The reverse of the coin features a prominent perched eagle on top of several arrows with its wings fully extended. The eagle has 13 stars above it's head symbolizing the original 13 states. The reverse has the inscriptions, United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, Five Dollars.

Pre-Issue Price: $180.00

Regular Issue Price $205.00
