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 1991 Uncirculated Silver Eagle is considered to be one of the scarcer issues in the Uncirculated Silver Eagle series, as it has a mintage of about 7.2 million coins struck. The mintage is not necessarily considered to be low, as there are about 15 other dates with lower mintages. However, there are numerous other dates with mintages that have over 30 million coins struck.

Most examples of the 1991 Uncirculated Silver Eagle come well struck and range from about MS67- to about MS69. However, many of them have small nicks and scratches that prevent them from grading MS69 or higher. Therefore, nice MS69 examples with minimal flaws can be very hard to find. In perfect MS70 condition, they are very rare.
