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:

Proof versions of the 1837 No Stars Dime are very rare. Most researchers suggest a surviving population of thirty Proofs, a figure supported by the two dozen already certified by PCGS (which doubtless contains some duplication). Though this number seems small, it is actually rather large for the period and may relate to the enthusiasm surrounding the introduction of the new design. The No Stars version has been nicknamed "mini-Gobrecht" by some collectors, as an homage to the new silver dollars of 1836 with the same obverse design.

All Proof 1837 No Stars Dimes are of the Large Date variety (Fortin 101). What is interesting about this variety is that the 7 was punched into the die twice -- first in a lower position, then in a higher position. This gives the 7 an elongated appearance, making it a really "large" date.
