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.

David Akers (1975/88):
Very scarce in all grades but actually somewhat overrated and overpriced compared to the 1842, 1844, and even the 1846 and 1847. Strictly uncirculated specimens are very rare, however, I have seen only one or two that could correctly be called mint state.
