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 1898 Quarter Dollar is a great date among the Barber series. It is common, it often comes nice, and there are ample supplies of Mint State examples in a variety of grades. The most frequent Mint State grade is MS63, followed by MS62, then MS64. Gem examples are slightly less common, but even the populations in MS65 and MS65 are large enough to keep prices at a reasonable level. MS67 examples become quite rare and they are exceeded only by a couple of MS67+'s and a single PCGS MS68. At these upper levels, the eye appeal on these coins is extraordinary.
