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.

Ron Guth:

BG-204A is a unique variety among a series known as "Narrow Heads". The Breen-Gillio reference attributes these to the maker Joseph Bros., noting that it was first reported to researcher/collector Kenneth W. Lee in 1953-54. The lone survivor remained hidden until Kurt Krueger's July 1984 ANA Auction, when it was "re-discovered" by Jay Roe. In 2003, the coin was owned by California Gold specialist William O'Connor.
