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-S Proof Jefferson Nickel was very well struck and finding an example should not be difficult. This issue is very common in about PR65-67 Deep Cameo condition. In PR68 Deep Cameo condition is it a little more challenging to find but it can easily be purchased at a reasonable and affordable price. In PR69 Deep Cameo condition they are scarcer, yet, there are still hundreds of examples available. In PR69 Deep Cameo condition it becomes much more expensive as there is a higher demand than there are coins available.
