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.

Jaime Hernandez:

Most circulation strike Washington Quarters from the 1980's were struck in very poor quality. For some issues it is even difficult to find examples in MS65 condition or higher, despite hundreds of millions of examples being produced. The 1989-D is one of the tougher dates. Although MS65 examples can be purchased inexpensively raw or graded, they are difficult to find in mint sets or rolls in this condition or higher. In MS66 condition they are underrated as they are really scarce with less than a few hundred examples known. In MS67 condition they are truly scarce with less than a dozen known and none existing in any higher condition.
