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):
This date is scarce in all grades and VF and EF examples are most often available. However, AU specimens and an occasional uncirculated one appear on the market fom time to time and a small number of choice and gem uncirculated specimens exist. The 1855 had more appearances in my auction survey than any other No Motto Eagle but I have seen more mint state examples of 1847 and 1847-O than I have of this date and consider them to be more common than 1855.
