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.
The 1954 Proof Roosevelt Dime has one of the lowest mintages in the series. Only the 1950 to 1953 Proof issues have lower mintages. The 1954 Proof Roosevelt Dime is very easy to obtain up to about PR68 condition. In PR69 it is almost non-existent. With Cameo surfaces it is scarce PR68 and higher. And with Deep cameo surfaces it is considered rare in any condition with about a dozen or so examples known in all grades combined.
