David Akers (1975/88)

The proofs that I have seen have a small rust pit on the neck near the lower curl. The last 1 in the date is also farther from the bust than the first 1, whwereas on the business strike 1871's, they are approximately the same distance from the bust.

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.
