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 1968 Washington Quarter has a very large mintage making it easily obtainable from circulation in circulated grades. In uncirculated grades it is also easily obtainable in MS60 to about MS65 condition. Examples in MS66 are scarcer but can be purchased at a small premium. In MS67 condition it is really tough to find with many examples being graded and sold at a significant premium but probably still hundreds of examples are out there. In MS68 condition it is truly scarce with less than handful of examples known and none being known in finer condition.
