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.

Gordon Wrubel: The finest recorded 1794 High Relief half cent, MS 66 BN, proudly displays a gorgeous light chocolate brown color. Its pristine surfaces exude full mint bloom, with nary a break. A halo of faded mint red peeps out from the complete, fully struck, obverse denticles and highlights LIBERTY and the date. The High Relief details are brought to their maximum by a very strong strike. Vein detail in the leaves, which some observers may not have ever seen before, leads one to wonder if this specimen had received more than one blow from the dies. This little half sister is an absolutely captivating work of art.
