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.

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1970-D Roosevelt Dime is a very common issue that can still be found in circulation. Examples in low Uncirculated grades can probably also still be found in circulation with proper searching. Only in MS66 condition and higher does it become somewhat challenging to locate. However, there are still probably thousands of examples that survive in MS66 condition. In MS67 it is difficult to find with possibly hundreds in existence. In MS68 it almost unheard of with less than dozen known. With Full Bands it is very scarce in any condition and any examples displaying Full Bands is a diamond in the rough.
