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:

Breen (1989) cited Proof examples for JR-2 and JR-4. However, Davis et al (1984) could only confirm the existence of a single Proof 1825 Half Dime, that being the Bareford (Stack's 10/1981) sale. Both the Norweb and Pittman coins came on the market after Davis et al published their book, as did two other pieces.

Today, there are five Proof examples known of the JR-2 variety and a single purported Proof of the JR-1 variety.
