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 1832 Dime has the fourth smallest mintage among the Small Diameter Dimes. Five other dates have larger mintages, which places the 1832 in the middle of the rarity scale. The point of this ranking is to show what a good value this date is since it can be purchased for the same price as any of the much more common dates. Mint State examples are readily available, though only is small quantities. Most Mint State examples fall into the MS62 to MS64 grade range. In MS65, the 1832 Dime becomes rare; in MS66, this date becomes a true condition-rarity. The finest example is a single PCGS MS67.

Seven die varieties comprise the entire mintage for this year.
