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.

Ron Guth:

The 1858-O Half Dime is the most common of the O-Mint Half Dimes, just edging out the 1860-O. Mint State examples are fairly common, with MS-63 and MS-64 being the most frequently encountered grades. PCGS has certified only a dozen MS65, four MS-66s, one MS66+, and none finer.

Most of the top examples are well struck, but virtually all show slight weakness on the reverse denticles from 12:30 to 2:00. Overall, however, the 1858-O Half Dime is a fine product from the New Orleans Mint.
