Expert Comments

David Akers (1975/88)

Mint records indicate that 119 proofs were struck, but undoubtedly the vast majority of these were melted since the 1860 is just as rare in proof as any of the other dates in the 1860's, and it actually has fewer auction appearances in our 238 catalogue auction survey than the 1857, 1858, or 1859.

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.
