The numbers, and what kind of numbers they are

Every figure carries its evidence class. Press a class to open the record behind it — what it rests on, by what method, and what the series says you should not conclude from it.

DELIVERED IN 1878

—

What the mint delivered to the Treasurer during that calendar year. The Mint counted deliveries, not dates — a coin delivered in January could have been struck the previous December.

DATED ATTRIBUTION

—

What the trade assigns to coins bearing this date. A modern allocation by an outside authority, not a federal record.

ESTIMATED SURVIVORS

—

An estimate of how many still exist in any grade, not a count of coins anyone has seen. The mint-state and gem figures beneath it are where a date's price actually lives.

AUCTION RECORD

—

The highest public sale on record for this issue. One coin, one night — a ceiling, not a market.
