David Akers (1975/88)

Most specimens are well worn and it is not unusual to see this date in Fine or even VG. I have never seen or heard of a strictly uncirculated specimen. In overall rarity, this date is similar to the other S-Mint issues from 1866-1874 although it is not quite as rare as the 1867-S.

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.
