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 1877-S Quarter Dollar is a common date and has one of the largest mintages in the series. Hundreds of Mint State examples have been certified, and many more exist in a raw state. The most common Mint State grade is MS64. Dozens exist in MS65 to MS66 grades, but any example in MS67 is an extreme condition-rarity.

With so many examples to choose from, collectors have the opportunity to be picky. Look for fully struck examples with clean surfaces and above-average eye appeal.
