The 1864 Seated Liberty Silver Dollar is very scarce in Proof condition. The mintage of regular issue coins during this Civil War year was only 30,700, so collectors put a lot of price pressure on this date because a Proof 1864 Dollar is often easier (and less expensive) to find than is a nice Mint State example.

The survival rate of Proofs of this date seems fairly high or, at least, those that survive are in nice condition. The PCGS Condition Census is filled with PR65 or better examples, and the best is a single PCGS PR67.

Cameo Proofs represent about 30% of the population at present, but that percentage is expected to increase in time as older submissions are reevaluated (PCGS did not recognize Cameo and Deep Cameo designations until years after they began certifying coins). Deep Cameo 1864 Silver Dollars are non-existent at present.

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.	Relative Rarity by Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
