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.

David Hall:
The 1935 is one of the higher mintage early date Washington quarters and it is readily available in all grades. For the pre-1940 Washingtons, only the 1939 is easier to obtain in Gem MS65 condition. In Gem condition, the 1935 is about equal in rarity to the 1936. Strike is not a problem and luster can often be spectacular.
