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): Although the 1802/1 appeared at auction four more times in our 226 catalogue survey than the 1807, in my opinion the 1807 is most common date of this date of this type. Of course, one might reasonably expect this from the significantly higher than average mintage of the 1807 which is more than twice that of any other heraldic eagle quarter eagle. Also, although once again the data does not clearly indicate this, the 1807 is the most available date of this type in high grade, and strictly uncircualted specimens do turn up from time to time. Well struck specimens of this date, though rare, are also more availabloe than any other date of this rare type.
