David Akers (1975/88)

The 1826 is certainly very rare as a date, but since most known examples are uncirculated, many of them gems, it is not nearly as rare in mint state as such dates as the 1821, 1824 and 1825/1. However, it is more rare in all grades, including Unc., than the 1813, 1814/3, 1818, 1820, and 1823. The number of existing specimens is probably on the order of 30-35 and there are also several proofs known.

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.
