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.

#1 MS66 PCGS grade

Ron Guth:

The 1876-S Quarter Dollar has one of the higher certified populations of the Seated Liberty series. This date is plentiful in MS63 and MS64, and can even be found with patience in MS65. In MS66, this date is very rare and none have been certified finer by PCGS. High-grade examples will have a nice "look" and most will sport a strong strike and rich, frosty luster. This date is an exceptional value for type purposes.
