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 1835 Dime has the highest mintage of any Dime prior to 1838 (when the Liberty Seated design was introduced to great fanfare). Thus, collectors should have no difficulty finding a nice example of this date. Of additional help is the fact that demand for this date is not split up into two or more major varieties, as it is on many other dates in this series.

The 1835 Dime is scarce in Mint State, but not rare, and the most frequenbtly-seen grade is MS-64. Gems, on the other hand, are rare indeed, and the finest example certified by PCGS (as of October 2011) is a single MS-66.
