The 1947 Dime is very common in all grades up to, and including, MS-66. MS-67 examples are scarce but can be found for a price. None have been graded finer by PCGS (as of August 2011).

Full Band (or Full Torch) examples are much scarcer and they follow the same grade distribution as the non-Full Band examples. The finest FB exampl;e certified by PCGS is a single MS67+FB.

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.
