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.

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1873 Double Liberty Indian Cent is considered scarce. There are approximately 500 - 1,000 examples known in all grades combined. About 90 - 95% of graded examples are in circulated grades, thus, inidcating how scarcer or rarer Uncirculated examples really are. From the coins that exist in Uncirculated grades, most of them are in MS63 - MS64 condition and anything grading higher is either rare or non-existent. Proving how truly rare this coin is in Gem condition.
