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 1947-D Dime has a mintage of about 46 million coins. This is more or less about the average mintage for Silver Roosevelt Dimes issued from 1946-1964.

In circulated grades it is considered a common date. In MS60 – MS65 it is easily obtainable. However, in MS60 – MS65 the 1947-D Dime commands a slightly higher premium than most common dates. In MS66 condition, it begins to become a bit more challenging to find but yet, still obtainable without much trouble. In MS67 condition, it becomes tough, with possibly about 125 examples surviving in this grade.
