Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1806 Large Cent is a common date in the series and, fortunately for collectors, only one variety makes up the entire mintage. In circulated grades, this date is easy to find. Approximately a dozen examples are known in Mint State, all of which are Brown except for a single Red-Brown example. No full Red examples are known. The price record for this date is the $51,750 paid for the Tom Reynolds PCGS MS66RB in the 2016 Goldbergs sale.

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.
