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:

Two die varieties of the 1833 Dime have a final 3 in the date that is markedly higher than the first 3: JR-5 and JR-7. The JR-5 variety is very common, while the JR-7 is not, so any time you encounter an 1833 High 3 Dime, be sure to have it authenticated properly (preferably by using the PCGS Variety Service). A couple of high grade examples exist of the 1833 High 3 Dime, including two PCGS MS-66 examples. Any Mint State example must be considered scarce, but there is an ample supply of circulated examples to satisfy the needs of collectors.
