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.

#3 AU55 PCGS grade

Ron Guth:

The LM-4 1795 Half Dime is a very rare variety, probably because of the rapid deterioration of the die. Most examples show a die crack connecting the 11th through the 14th stars, which eventually terminates in a massive cud in that area (the PCGS MS62 illustrated above, is a prime example of this terminal die state). The PCGS MS62 example supplanted an NGC MS61 example as "finest known" and raised the number of Mint State examples to two. Any example of this date would a collector's prize.
