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 Hall:

The mintage for this issue is listed as 204, but like the mintage figures for all 1910 gold issues, this figure is suspect. Based on graded populations and auction appearances, the 1910 is certainly rarer than the 1908, and seems to be rarer than several other issues with much lower mintages. Either half of the mintage was melted at the Mint or the reported figure was simply incorrect. Somewhere between 50 and 75 examples are known today and the original number released by the Mint was probably half the 204 reported figure.
