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.
