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 1987 Uncirculated Silver eagle proved to be very popular and from 1986 to 2007, it held the record for the highest mintage Uncirculated Silver Eagle. For the most part, most Uncriculated Silver Eagles from 1986 to 2007 seemed to have mintages ranging from about 4 million to just under 11 million but 1987 was the only year that the mintage actually surpassed 11 million.

Therefore, the 1987 Uncirculated Silver Eagle is one of the more common dates in the series. Most examples grade from MS66 to MS68. Nicer examples grade MS67 but very have been graded MS70.
