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.

David Akers (1975/88): Next to the 1875, this is the most in-demand date in the series. Since it is a proof only issue, the 1876 brings substantially more than the rarer proofs of dates that are also available in other grades, such as the 1861, 1874, or 1878. As one can see from the total of 49 appearances of this date in our 238 catalog auction survey (surprisingly, the highest number of offerings in proof of any date in the entire series!), the 1876 is somewhat overrated as a rarity, although many of the proofs are impaired and so gem quality proofs are certainly difficult to obtain. Nevertheless, many of the dates in this series are far more rare in proof than this one.
