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 terms of overall population, the Proof 1900 Quarter Eagles are the most plentiful of the Liberty type. However, that does not mean they are common by any means - only that this is the least rare date in the series.

In general, the quality of Proofs in this year is excellent. Quite a few high grade examples exist, even up to PR68+DCAM, and a high percentage of 1900 Quarter Eagles are Cameo or Deep Cameo. For type purposes, this is the date of choice.

David Akers (1975/88): The 1900 is probably the most common Liberty Head quarter eagle in proof, although the 1901 is a very close second.
