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.

David Akers (1975/88): This is the final year of this type and the last U.S. Eagle for 34 years. The 1804 is one of the rarer early Eagles, far more rare than such dates as 1795, 1797 Heraldic Eagle, 1799, 1801 or 1803 and also more rare than the underrated 1800. It is only a little less rare than the more touted 1798/7, 9x4 Stars and is about the same rarity as the 1796. All specimens that I have seen have poorly defined facial features on Miss Liberty, a characteristic that has probably resulted in the down-grading of some specimens offered for sale. The typical 1804 is fairly high grade, EF or AU, and a small number of strictly uncirculated examples are also known.
