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 1909 Dime has a fairly hefty mintage of over 10 million coins. Thus, it is easy and inexpensive to obtain in most grades. Mint State examples are very plentiful, with hundreds of examples available in a range of grades from MS62 to MS65. The PCGS CoinFacts Conditin Census starts with MS66 examples and tops out at MS67. The three MS67's illustrated above present in different ways; each has color in varying formats. The price record for this date is held by a PCGS MS66 (interestingly, two of the PCGS MS67's sold subsequently for a price no more than a third of the record).
