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.

#7 MS63 PCGS grade

David Akers (1975/88): The 1814/3 is considerably more rare than the 1813 in all grades and slightly more rare than the 1818. Most specimens I have seen were in the VF to EF range and strictly mint state examples are rare. Gem uncirculated specimens are extremely rare and are actually less often available than gems of some of the famous rarities of this type. Like the 1813, the 1814/3 is generally well struck on the head but weak at the borders. Parts of the eagle are also quite often not fully struck up.
