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.

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1941-S Jefferson Nickel is considered to be one of the more common dates as it has a relatively large mintage of over 43 million coins struck. In circulated grades and up to MS66 condition without displaying the Full Steps details on the reverse it is fairly common and obtainable without paying any significant premium. In MS66 with the Full Steps designation it does become a bit more difficult to find and many examples in this condition or higher have probably already been certified. In MS67 condition it is very difficult to find and less than a dozen examples are known to exist with none being finer.
