Only three specimens are believed to exist, including one permanently impounded in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution and another one that was part of a New York state specialist's collection for decades. David Akers original research was able to trace the auction appearance of just one coin, the piece offered in the Louis E. Eliasberg United States Gold Coin Auction, shown here on this page. The desirability of this Proof is enhanced by the relative unavailability of business strikes in higher grade.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the Louis E. Eliasberg United States Gold Coin Auction, where it realized $28,600.
