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 1952 Proof Roosevelt Dime has a considerably low mintage of 81,980 coins struck. Although, tens of thousands might not seem as a low mintage, in reality it is for the series. Compare this mintage for example to the mintage of the 1957 Proof Dime with a mintage of over 1 million coins produced.

The 1952 Proof Dime has the third lowest mintage in the Proof Roosevelt Dime series. Only the 1950 and 1951 have lower mintages. In PR60-PR66 they appear to be very common with most examples falling in these grades. In PR67 they are scarce with possibly a few thousand examples known. In PR68 they are very scarce with about 100 examples known. There are less than 5 graded PR69 making it a condition census rarity with none being finer.
