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.

The 1958-D has a mintage that is more than ten times the mintage of the 1958, yet it is about twice as rare in Gem condition than the 1958. The mintage was so large that not as many original rolls were saved in the year of issue. In Gem condition, the 1958-D is midle-of-the-road rarity wise for the 1941-1964 Washington quarters.
