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.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

Ex-Louis Eliasberg collection

#1 PR63 PCGS grade

Ron Guth:

The Eliasberg example (PCGS PR65) was offered at $300,000 by Albanese Rare Coins, Inc. on page 96 of the March 2005 issue of the Numismatist.

David Hall:

There are only 4 known proofs, and two of them are permanently impounded. The Smithsonian Institution has one and the American Numismatic Society collection also has one. The two collectible specimens are from two great collections. The Louis Eliasberg collection had a specimen and John Pittman had one that was part of an original 1846 proof set!
