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.

This is a very underrated coin. There are no examples know with Full Bands details on the reverse. The bottom of the torch usually comes with very weakly struck bands making impossible to find examples displaying the full band details. Coins with more than half the details on the lower bands are scarce and should be pulled aside. In grades of MS64 and lower they are somewhat common. In MS65 condition they become a little scarce but still available with some effort in searching. MS66 examples are really scarce. In MS67 they are very tough to find with less than 2 dozen examples known and none being higher.
