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 1864 Dime is a wonderful date with an extremely low mintage of only 11,000 coins. As in 1863, the San Francisco Mint was the big producer of Dimes this year. Despite the small mintage, the 1864 is an excellent value, especially in high grade. For instance, the 1864 and 1864-S Dimes are worth almost the same amount in MS63 -- even though the 1864-S has a much larger mintage.

Seated Liberty Dime researcher, Gerry Fortin, identified two die pairs for this date, both of which were used to strike Proof versions. One of the die pairs was later used to make the small number of coins for circulation. As expected, many of these coins are Prooflike and can sometimes be mistaken as Proofs (which are actually worth less than Mint State examples).
