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 circulation strike 1960-D Franklin Half Dollar has one of the higher mintages in the series. However, despite the higher mintage, it is a tougher coin to find in MS65 condition or higher. With the Full Bell Lines characteristics on the reverse design they are scarce in MS65 FBL. In MS66 Full Bell Lines they are very scarce with possibly no more than 100 examples known. In MS67 with or without Full bell Lines it is very rare.
