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.

David Hall:

Only 5,006 1936-S Cincinnatis were originally distributed, yet most were saved as this issue is fairly easy to obtain in grades MS63 thru MS65. Superb MS66 examples are somewhat scarce. For some reason, the 1936-S is the rarest of the three Cincinnatis though their original mintages are virtually identical. The typical 1936-S Cincinnati has a somewhat frosty, somewhat satiny luster or toning of varying degrees.
