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:

Prooflike 1894-O Dollars are extremely rare and repreent just a small fraction of the total population. Out of the 7,193 1894-O Dollars PCGS has certified (as of 10/13/2019), only ttwo have earned the PL designation.

To illustrate how much the Prooflike designation adds to this date, consider that a PCGS MS63PL 1894-O Dollar sold for $28,800 in 2019, at a time when regular MS63 1894-O Dollars were valued in the PCGS Price Guide for $4,000.
