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.

The 1982-D Washington Quarter is very common as the Mint struck over 480 million examples. circulated examples up to about MS65 are very common. MS66 examples are much more difficult to obtain but for a small premium one can be purchased or even found in rolls, mint sets or bags. In MS67 they are very difficult to find, it is probably easier to buy one than to try and find one. Anything grading higher than MS67 is considered rare.
