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):
The proofs all have a normal date. All of the business trikes I have encountered have an abnormality under the 2 in the date. It appears as thoguh it might have been a 2 originally punched too high and for this reason it is called the "High 2" variety. Also, on the proofs, the leaf to the left of the date is partially detached whereas it is solid on the business strikes. Furthermore, there is a prominent recutting on the ends of the ribbon on the uncs that is missing on the proofs.
