This date is very rare in all grades. It has appeared at auction less often than any of the 1839 or 1840 coins and also less often than the 1841-C or 1841-D. However, it is not quite as rare in strictly uncirculated condition as any of the dates just mentioned since a small number of relatively choice examples exist.

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.
