David Akers (1975/88)

The 1891 is a scarce date in all grades, not as rare, of course, as the lower mintage 1888, 1889, or 1890, but more rare than any of the Philadelphia Mint Half Eagles that follow, except the 1896 and the 1929 Indian Head. The typical 1891 is EF or AU but strictly uncirculated examples are rare and are less often available than the proofs of this date, which for some unknown reason, have a higher survival ratio than other proofs of this period.
