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.

David Hall:
The 1952-S can often be found in truly Superb Gem condition. This issue is sometimes a little softly struck, but there are many that are well struck and most mint state examples are relatively mark free. There are a good number of magnificently toned MS67 ultra Gems known.
