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

The 1977-P Roosevelt Dime seems like a common coin since it was struck in the late 1970's and especially since it has a large mintage of over 375 million coins struck. This is true for coins in circulated grades up to about MS64 or MS65 condition. However, in grades of MS67 and higher it is very difficult to find as there are less than 100 examples known. With Full Bands it is even scarcer, and in MS66 FB there are less than a dozen known. In MS67 FB it is the highest grade available with none being graded higher.
