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):
The 1874-S is similar in overall rarity to the 1866-S motto and the 1868-1873 San Francisco Mint issues. It is very rare in any condition. I know of one borderline uncirculated example of this date and nothing else remotely close. In fact, there aren't really very many 1874-S Eagles around in any grade.
