Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts' opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity By Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

Found in a potato field in East Hampton, Long Island by Lillian Rade in February 1990 - Sotheby’s 11/1991, $35,200 - John “Jack” Royse (via a private transaction with Stack’s - Stack’s 11/2012, $431,250

P. Scott Rubin: The New England Sixpence is an extremely rare colonial issue. Only two varieties are known and only Noe 1-A is unquestionably real, the Noe 2-B has been identified as a counterfeit although it may be a contemporary. It is believed that less than 10 specimens of Noe 1-A are known.

The NE sixpence Noe 1-A matches the NE punch of the unique NE Threepence and has a thick NE, the Noe 2-B has delicate NE letters. The last offered copy of Noe 2-B sold for $184,000 in Stack’s Ford Collection Sale Part 12 in 2005, but was returned as counterfeit after the buyer submitted it for certification, and was subsequently sold as such by Stack’s in January, 2008 where it realized $13,800.
