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 1848 Half Dime has proven to be an elusive rarity in Proof condition. Previous estimates of fifteen survivors appear to be overstated, as only six examples have been positively identified in recent years. Two are in institutional collections and one has been off the market since 1999. The best of the two examples owned by Eliasberg sold as an NGC PR66CAM in 2013, where it realized a record price of $62,250. The next best example appears to be the Pittman-Gardner PCGS PR64.
