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.

David Akers (1975/88): Proofs are very rare, with perhaps only 10 to 12 out of the original 25 minted still in existence. A very interesting restrike of this date also exists. It is listed in Dr. Judd's book as J-440, and in Adams and Woodin's book as AW-480. It was struck using the obverse die of 1872 and was probably minted sometime in 1873. Only two pieces are known; one of them is in the Wilkinson Collection and the other appeared in the Farouk Sale in 1954. The restrike is easily distinguishable from the regular issue proofs by the fact that the date slants noticeably up to the right and the first three digits of the date are very weak, while the 5 is sharp and bold.
