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):
Despite the similar mintage, this date is not quite as rare as the 1862, nor is it as rare as the 1863 or 1865. Nevertheless it is very rare in any grade and is seldom seen better than EF. I know of only two uncirculated examples, neither of which is particularly choice.
