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-S Roosevelt Dime is one of the scarcer coins n the Roosevelt Dime series. It has a mintage of approximately 35 million coins struck. Most other dates have mintages well over 35 million. This issue is fairly common up to about MS66 condition. In MS67 condition it is scarce, yet still obtainable for a reasonable premium. In MS68 condition without Full Bands it is almost unheard of, however, a few examples have been graded.

With the Full Bands designation in it is truly scarce in MS67 FB, with about 100 examples known more or less. In MS68 Full Bands it is extremely tough to find and about a dozen or so examples are known.
