Three cent question

Does anyone know how many surviving 1867 3 cent silvers there are likely estimated?
And while we're at it...........how do they arrive at estimates anyway? is it a percent of mintage over time or what?

Of the business strikes, a WAG on my part would be 70 survivors in all conditions. Totally unscientific.
When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.

so this means about 468 survive

well this guesstimate has been proferred by many students/collectors/dealers over the years and based on what i have seen and are certified this is is a reasonable estimate
TAKING INTO reasonable attrition and these proof coins where not saved by or melted at the mint
