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:

In the first year of the new millenium, employees at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia produced 912 Proof Half Dollars. This would turn out to be the third largest mintage of the series (after 1892 and 1894). As a result, this is one of the more common Proof Barber Half Dollars and a great value for collectors. The overall production quality was excellent and, today, there are scores of Gems available for purchase. Superb examples are scarce but the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census for this date starts at PR67. Approximately one fourth of the certified examples are Cameos, but less than four percent are Deep Cameos.
