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 not as rare as the 1851, 1853, 1854 or 1855 but it is definitely more rare than the 1843, 1847, 1852 or 1861. Uncirculated specimens are known, but they are very rare and VF or EF are the grades one is most likely to encounter.
