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 Small 8 variety of 1798 is substantially more rare than the 1798 Large 8 but is generally unappreciated as such. Most pricing guides even go so far as to price this variety lower than the Large 8 variety; it should be valued higher in all grades. Mint state specimens are very rare and gems are vitrually unobtainable.
