Ron Guth

The 1851 Quarter is a semi-scarce issue with a nice, small mintage figure of only 160,000 coins. However, the surviving population is similar to that of the 1851-O, which is generally considered to be more rare. In Mint State, the 1851 is definitely more plentiful than the 1851-O, but not by much. Most Mint State 1851 Quarters are MS64, with few at the MS65 level and only one example known in MS66.

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.
