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.

David Akers (1975/88):

Because of the great rarity and fame of the 1832 12 Stars, this 13 Stars variety has been touted as being a fantastic rarity in its own right. It certainly is a very rare coin but claims that only six or seven are known are highly inaccurate. I have personally seen more than that and I would estimate that at least 20-25 actually exist, if not more. Most known specimens are high grade, i.e. AU or Unc, but a few EF's are around. As a date, the 1832 is more rare than the 1830, 1831, 1833 or 1834 of this type but the 1832 13 Stars is not as rare as the 1831 Small 5D variety, or as rare in Unc. as the 1830 Large 5D or either variety of 1834.
