Expert Comments

David Akers (1975/88)

Proofs are easy to distinguish from business strikes. First of all, on proofs, the tips of the wreath are distinctly separated, whereas on the business strikes, they are connected. The date on the proofs is also slightly lower in the field and slants down to the right, giving the impression that the 3 is "lower" than the rest of the date. On the business strikes, however, the date is leavel and also slightly more to the left.

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.	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.
