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.

David Hall:

The 1937-D and 1937-S are very comparable in terms of mintage and rarity in mint state and Gem condition. The 1937-D is rarer than the 1936-D and considerably rarer than the 1939-D, but it is not quite as rare as the 1938-D and the 1934-D and 1935-D are way rarer than any of the other D-Mints including the 1937-D. I have seen numerous original uncirculated rolls of both the 1937-D and 1937-S "back in the day," i.e. the 1970s when rolls of coins from the 1930S were still trading intact in the numismatic market place. The 1937-D is usually well struck and luster can be quite frosty.
