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.

#2 MS66RD PCGS grade

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1893 Indian Cent has an average mintage more or less. As there are several issues from the series which have significantly lower or higher mintages. This issue appears to be scarce in MS65 condition with no more than a few hundred known in this condition. In MS66 it is even scarcer with about 100 or so examples known. Anything grading higher is considered a condition census coin and less than a few dozen or so known grading higher than MS66.
