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): The 1910 is by far the most common of the Philadelphia Mint issues from 1908 With Motto to 1915. In MS-63 it can be obtained with only a little difficulty, and below that level it is common and readily available. Although not nearly as difficult to locate as the other early Philadelphia Mint issues in gem condition, the 1910 is still definitely rare in MS-65, and it takes both a little luck and a little patience to be able to find one. In superb (MS-67) condition, this issue is a major rarity. I can recall seeing only a couple such pieces.

The 1910 is invariably well struck and the surfaces are always the "soft" frosty type. Lustre on this issue is usually very good (much better than on the 1908 With Motto, 1911, 1913 or 1914) and the color is typically medium yellow or orange gold.
