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.

David Akers (1975/88):
Proofs are extremely rare although not as much so as the 1854. The same four parties that own proof Type II gold dollars also own proof 1855 gold dollars, and I am aware of several other specimens as well, including one that sold early in 1975 for a reported $50,000.
