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 Mint struck/sold 100 fewer Proof Half Dollars than in the preceding year, yielding a total mintage of only 575 pieces, and perhaps indicating collectors' disdain for the mostly brilliant finish on Proofs of this period. In keeping with previous years, Cameo Proof 1907 Half Dollars are quite rare and they represent rougly ten percent of the total population. PCGS has yet to certify a Deep Cameo example of this date and it is doubtful if such a version exists. The best value for this date is at the PR64 level (Brilliant finish only), where scores of affordable examples exist.
