CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Only 296,000 were minted by April 1, 1881, when coinage of silver dollars was suspended for the year. Nearly all remained in the mint vault until 1885 when they were shipped to U.S. Treasury Department facilities in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. Only a very few were released locally, including this one. Circulated survivorship is around 3,500-6,000. Most of the original mintage survives to this day in Uncirculated condition.

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.
