The mintage of this date is one of the lowest in the series, but according to the auction data, it ranks squarely in the middle according to rarity by number of appearances (20th) in our 238 catalogue auction survey and rarity by average grade (21st). Choice uncirculated specimens are very rare, and I have seen about the same number of mint state 1864's as I have of 1863.

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.
