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 1904-S is a scarce date in all grades and the majority of known specimens are in the VF to EF range. A small number of uncirculated examples are known, including several superb gems, but the date is definitely rare in full mint state.
