David Akers (1975/88)

This date is scarce in all grades and is very rare in choice uncirculated condition. Although there are three more auction records in our auction survey for this date in unc. than there are for the 1859, I have seen many more nice 1859's than I have 1860's.

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.
