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.

Ron Guth:

The 1864 Quarter Dollar is semi-scarce but not rare. Its mintage is almost 100,000 less than that of the 1863 Quarter Dollar, yet it is priced only slightly higher. Thus, if the 1863 is a good value (and I think it is), then the 1864 is an even better one. The Mint State populations of the 1863 and 1864 Quarter Dollars are nearly identical, though the latter is available in MS67 and MS68 (wow!), while the former is not. This date comes well-struck, with bright, frosty luster.
