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 1847 Quarter Dollar has one of the higher mintages of the dates from the 1840s. As a result, this date is fairly readily available, even in Mint State. According to the PCGS Population Report, PCGS has certified just over two dozen Mint State examples, usually in MS63 and MS64. Only two examples have been certified as PCGS MS65, with none finer. Most examples are well struck, with ample radial lines in the stars, and nice detailing on the eagle's feathers and on the fletches of the arrows.
