David Akers (1975/88)

The 1899 is one of the commonest dates in the enitire Liberty Head series, on a par with the 1895, 1898-S and 1901. Choice and gem mint state examples are sufficiently abundant that I would describe the 1899 as "rare" only at the superb or near perfect Unc. level.

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.
