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 1841-O Quarter Dollar is one of the more common dates of the 1840s, though it's mintage is not the largest. The 1841-O is also one of the most plentiful pre-1850 Quarters, though "plentiful" in this case is still rather scarce, nor does "plentiful" mean the coins are particularly nice. The typical Mint State grade for this date is MS62. Choice examples are decidedly rare, and Gems are non-existent with the exception of a single, remarkable PCGS MS67.

The overall strike on the 1841-O Quarter is usually quite good for a New Orleans product, though it is never quite as sharp as on a comparably graded Philadelphia Mint issue.
