David Akers (1975/88)

Although the proof mintage is more than double that of the 1860, the proofs of this year are more scarce than those of 1860 because the majority of them were melted in 1862. As a matter of fact, 1861 proof gold dollars are only slightly less rare than those of 1862, a year in which only 35 proofs were struck.

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.

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.
