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.

#1 MS67 PCGS grade

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1966 Washington Quarter is very common, especially since over 800 million of them were struck. Examples in circulated grades can still be found in circulation. Even examples in about MS60-MS63 condition can also be found in circulation. In MS64-MS66 condition they are little tougher to find, yet, can be purchased inexpensively. In MS67 condition it is scarce with less than a hundred examples graded by PCGS. In MS67+ condition is extremely scarce with less than handful of examples known and none being finer.
