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 1802 Dime is a very scarce coin in all grades, especially Mint State. The 1802 is very similar to the 1801 in terms of the number of survivors and the distribution of Mint State examples, all of which are at the low end of the scale. No choice or gem examples are known.

There are four varieties for this date, which is twice that of the 1801, thus some of the individual varieties are scarce to rare.

The finest examnples are a small group of MS62 examples. The price record for this date was set in 2008, when one of the PCGS MS62 examples sold for $138,000.
