  PCGS has graded 30 in Mint State and 250 in Proof condition.
  Of the business strikes, a WAG on my part would be 70 survivors in all conditions. Totally unscientific.

  in my opinion 75% of 1867 proof trimes survive
  
  
  so this means about 468 survive

  for proofs only
  
  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

  Gem MS 1867 trimes are hard to find. Proofs are relatively abundant. For example I ahave one business strike and 6 proofs of this date.

  Don't place much faith in survival estimates. They tend to understate the numbers, often by a wide margin.
