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:

Approximately seven Proof examples are known of the 1835 Qurter Dollar. Only one example is of the Browning-1 variety; the remaining examples are all of the Browning-7 variety. The finest non-Cameo Proof appears to be the PCGS PR64+ formerly of the John Jay Pittman collection, sold in 1998 for $38,500. The finest Cameo Proof is the PCGS PR65+CAM from the Garrett Collection, which sold for an incredibly high $75,000 way back in 1980. The overall price record for a Proof 1835 Quarter is only slightly higher -- $76,375 earned by an NGC PR64 in 2015.
