Owner's Comments

Top coin is 1914 PR66+BN, second is 1936 Satin PR66RB, and last is 1956 PR67DCAM. There are actually four distinct types of proof cent from the "Wheatback" years. First, there is the one-year type 1909 VDB proof that was discontinued after only 420 pieces were struck. Later that year, a second type emerged without the designer's initials on the reverse. These were struck as Matte Proofs, a method abandoned in 1916, later replaced by the Satin, and then Brilliant proof manufacturing method in 1936. The 1936 Satin Proof, a one-year type, is characterized by satiny-textured fields that were met with distaste from the public prompting their replacement with more brilliant proofs. The 1956 PR67DCAM shown here is an example of more modern methods, often yielding striking contrast between frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields.

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.

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.
