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:

In 1836, employees in the U.S. Mint at Philadephia focused on production of Half Dollars. In fact, of all the denominations produced in 1836, the Quarter Dollar has the smallest mintage (we're ignoring the Reeded Edge Half Dollars because they are...Half Dollars). Five different die varieties comprise the entire mintage of 472,000 Quarter Dollars. Three of the five varieties are common, one is very scarce, and the fifth (B-5) is so rare that it was not discovered until 1988 and, since then, very few examples have shown up.

Approximately three dozen Mint State 1836 Quarter Dollars have been identified over the years. Most are average Uncirculated (MS62 to MS63), with just a few that are MS64 or better. Gems are exceedingly rare.
