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 1976 Jefferson Nickel is very common since over 300 million were struck. Examples in circulated grades and up to about MS64 condition are common and can be acquired with minimal effort. Because of the weakness in the steps in the reverse, it is difficult to acquire in MS65 with Full Steps and less than 100 examples are known. In MS66 Full Steps it is difficult to find with less than a few dozen examples known. In MS67 Full Steps, it is extremely scarce with less than a handful of examples known and none being in finer condition.
