Expert Comments

David Akers (1975/88)

Proofs are rare and, despite the fact that the mintage of 50 is somewhat higher than for the other dates of this period, the 1864 in proof is basically the same rarity as the other dates of this decade. As was the case with the 1860 and 1861, it is possible that a substantial portion of the original 50 minted were subsequently melted.

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.
