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:

Though the 1938-D Boone has a mintage of only 2100 coins, probably 95% or more of that original mintage survives today. And most of the survivors are MS63 to MS67 quality. In truly superb MS66 or better condition, the 1938-D is the most common of the three 1938 Boones. Most 1938 Boones have satiny luster adn outstanding eye appeal.
