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.

Ron Guth:

The 1813 Large Cent has the fourth lowest mintage of the Classic Head series. Two die varieties comprise the entire mintage and both are common, making it very easy for collectors to obtain an example of this date. Problem-free examples with glossy surfaces are the most desirable, but also the most difficult to find. Mint State examples are scarce, especially in MS-63 and above. As of October 2011, the finest example certified by PCGS is a pair of MS-65s. Surprisingly, no Red-Brown or Red examples have been certified by PCGS.
