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:

In 1837, the U.S. Mint introduced a new Half Dime and Dime, both with Christian Gobrecht's Seated Liberty design (these beautiful little coins are often called "mini-Gobrechts" after the new silver dollars of 1836). 1837 Half Dimes are found with either Large or Small Dates. Neither variety is rare, but the Large Date version is more than twice as plentiful (according to the April 2012 PCGS Population Report). Collectors should have no difficulty finding Mint State examples up through MS65, but this date becomes very scarce in MS-66, and extremely rare in MS67. The finest examples certified by PCGS include three PCGS MS67s.

Gordon Wrubel: Quickfinder Notes: The Large Date has a PEAKED 1 and the date CURVES around the contour of the rim. The Small Date has a FLAT TOP 1 using much smaller date punches arranged in a STRAIGHT LINE.
