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:

The 1901-S Dime is one of the more exciting dates in the series because it has the smallest mintage of any Dime between 1896 and 1913. As such, it is in high demand in vortually every grade. However, the premium for this date begins to fade in Mint State because there are quite a few examples to satisfy collector demand. In fact, there are other dates that are less "famous", which have smaller MS populations, and lower prices. What all this means is that a Mint State 1901-S Dime offers excellent value and still comes with a great, small-mintage story.

This date comes very well-struck. Luster ranges from brilliant to frosty and this date often comes with nice eye appeal. The best example seen to date is a PCGS MS67+ (formerly of the Lily Nicole Collection).
