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):
Proofs are rare but, like the 1906, a surprisingly large percentage of the original mintage has survived. In fact, the survival rate of this issue may just be the highest of any proof U.S. gold coin. Of the 78 proofs minted, as many as 40-50 still exist although many of them are impaired.
