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 1886 Dime is one of the more plentiful Proofs of the Seated Liberty series, though it is not the most common (that title goes to the Proofs of 1879 and 1880). The vast majority of the certified Proof 1886 Dimes are brilliant; approximately 20% are Cameos; and only a very few examples are Deep Cameos. This date comes well struck and many of the top examples have tremendous eye appeal. PR64 is the typical grade, and the finest Proofs certified by PCGS include a handful of PR67s.
