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):

For some reason, perhaps its comparatively "high" mintage figure, the 1825/1 has never really been appreciated much as a rarity. As the auction data shows, however, it is really very rare, particularly in uncirculated condition. It has been offered less often in Unc. than such famous dates as 1821, 1824, 1826, 1827 and 1828. True gems are extremely rare with the finest specimen known to me being the one sold at Paramount's November, 1978 sale. It was purchased by Don Kagin for $32,000. The typical 1825/1 is EF or AU and most specimens I have seen had proof-like or partially proof-like surfaces. I would place the total number of known specimens between 35 and 40.
