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.

2	PR64 PCGS grade	Rod Sweet Collection - Bowers & Merena 7/2005:1008 (as PCGS PR64), $20,125 The 2005 Bowers & Merena catalog “Almost certainly” attributes this coin to Wayte Raymond 8/1938:132 - Floyd T. Starr Collection - Stack's 10/1992:588 (as Raw Choice Brilliant Proof, nearly Gem), $33,000, but the plate in the 2005 catalog matches neither of the two Proof 1847 Dollars in the Starr sale.
