The 1843 Quarter Dollar is typical of most dates from the 1840's -- it is scarce, but not rare, and can be found in Uncirculated condition with patience and luck. None of the mintages of any of the Quarter Dollars from the 1840's exceeded a million coins, but the mintages were healthier than those of other decades (especially those of the 1860's and 1870's).

Mint State 1843 Quarter Dollars appear most often in MS-63. On either side of that grade (both lower and higher) the populations drop quickly. As of September 2011, PCGS reported 32 Mint State 1843 Quarter Dollars, the finest of which are two in MS-66.

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.
