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 population data for the 1901 Barber Quarter is in line with most of the dates from this series, many of which had similar mintages and collector demand. The majority of certified coins are of the brilliant, non-Cameo version and only about twenty percent of the total population are listed as Cameos. In this future, the percentage of Cameos will rise as more and more coins come in for re-examination. Deep Cameo 1901 Quarters are exceptionally rare.

The most frequently-encounted grade for this date is PR63, followed by PR64, indicating that collectors did not pay particular attention to proper storage. Thus, high grade examples can be quite scarce, desirable, and valuable.
