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.

Most collectors should have no trouble finding a 2001-P North Carolina Quarter, as the U.S. Mint struck over 627 million examples for circulation. The typical example from circulation will have some noticeable wear but still be in uncirculated grades, with most examples still having luster. Only in MS69 grade or higher are they difficult to find.
