The "Two Leaves" refers to the clump of leaves beneath the eagle's left and right wings. On some coins, there are two leaves in each clump; on others, three leaves are present. The Two Leaves variety is definitely the more common of these major varieties.

Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
