Expert Comments

David Akers (1975/88)

Proofs are distinguishable from business strikes by the fact that the top of the second 6 in the date is filled on the proofs, whereas it is open and clear on business strikes. This filling is prominent enough that one can detect it even on relatively poor quality photos in auction catalogues.

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.
