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):
Despite the comparatively high mintage for the period, the 1848 is a rare coin, as rare as many of the mintmarked coins of the 1840's with much lower mintages. When available, the typical example is VF or at best EF.
