Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate 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.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity By Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

David Akers (1975/88): Supposedly this No Periods issue was to be an improvement over the Rolled Edge in terms of strike but there is really not much difference. Most examples of the No Periods issue are rather weakly struck on the hair curls at Miss Liberty's face and on parts of the eagle. (The stars and the obverse and reverse legends are always distinctly sharper than on the Rolled Edge, however, and some specimens are actually quite bold overall.) The surfaces are usually satiny and the lustre is always very good to excellent. Color is typically excellent ranging from rich yellow gold to medium greenish orange gold.

The 1907 No Periods is obviously one of the more common issues of this type. It is not at all difficult to obtain in MS-64 or lower condition and even gems can be located with just a little searching. Because 1907 was the first year of issue, many were saved as keepsakes, which accounts for the relatively large number of gems and superb pieces around today. There are some exceptional examples of this issue that border on perfection and certainly grade MS-67 even by today's strict standards.
