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.

David Hall: The 1917-D on Reverse is a semi-key date in the Walking Liberty half dollar series. It is scarce in circulated gardes and very scarce in mint state. Gems are rare. In Gem condition, the 1917-D Reverse is decidedly rarer than the 1917-D obverse, marginally rarer than the 1917-S Reverse, but not as rare as the 1917-S Obverse. Strike is usually decent on this issue and luster is often very nice.
