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.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

Ron Guth:

BG-1027 now includes coins that were previously listed under BG-1026A (which researchers now recognize as State I of BG-1027). All examples previously certifed by PCGS as BG-1026A have been converted to BG-1027.

Likewise, the former BG-1027A (never recognized by PCGS) is now considered by researchers to be State I of BG-1027.

According to the Breen-Gillio reference, State I of BG-1027 shows no repolishing of the obverse die. State II shows the obverse drastically repolished, effacing the bottom of the second 1 of the date and much of the hair detail.
