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.

David Hall:

The 1936 is the highest mintage Walking Liberty Half Dollar from 1917 to 1940 and it is the most common issue of that era in all grades. While readily available in mint state and also Gem condition for that matter, the 1936 is not as common as the P-Mints of the 1940s as many more coins were saved by the roll in the 1940s as opposed to the 1930s. The typical mint state 1936 half dollar is very well struck and has outstanding white frosty luster. This coin comes very nice.
