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.

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1919 Mercury Dime has one of the largest mintages in the series. It's mintage is over 35 million. Several other dates have mintages under 5 million just to illustrate where it falls in the mintage figures.

There are probably tens of thousands of examples that exist in circulated condition. In Uncirculated condition, there are probably also a few thousand examples that have survived. MS66 examples or higher are very scarce. MS67 examples are even scarcer. Anything grading higher than MS67 is rare.
