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:

The 1938 Proof Washington Quarters has the third lowest mintage in the entire Proof Washington Quarter series. Most surviving examples appear to be in about PR65 condition. Examples in PR66 are scarce but still probably over 1,000 still survive in this condition and higher. In PR67 it becomes somewhat scarce with possibly less than a couple hundred examples available. In PR68 condition it is a diamond in the rough, as there is less than a handful of examples known and none existing in any higher condition.
