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.

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1942 Proof Washington Quarter is a tougher coin as it has one of the lowest mintages in the Proof Washington Quarter series. Most examples appear to exist in the PR64 to PR66 range. Examples in PR67 are much scarcer yet affordable to most serious Washington Quarter collectors. In PR68 condition it is very scarce with less than a few dozen examples known.
