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:

Proof 1891 Dimes were sold by the Mint as part of six-piece sets consisting of the silver and minor coins in Proof (individual coins were not sold separately). The mintage of the 1891 Dime was reported as 600 Proofs. The survival rate of this date is substantial, as over 240 Proofs have been certified by PCGS alone. Of those a fourth are Cameo Proofs but only a few examples have made the Deep Cameo cut. Several Proof 67 examples exist, and the best is a single PCGS PR68CAM. Take a look at the Gems pictured above, most of which have exceptional color and eye appeal.
