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:

1829 Dimes are found with several different reverses: Small 10C, Medium 10C, Large 10C, Small 10C over Large 10C, and Extra Large 10C. PCGS recognizes the first four as major varieties, the last one as a die variety (JR-1).

Though mnost price guides value the Small, Medium and Large 10C almost equally, there is a big difference in rarity among the three. The Small 10C is the most common by a factor of almost 10 to 1 (based on the November 2011 PCGS Population Report). The Large 10C is roughly twice as scarce as the Medium 10C.

PCGS has certified only eight Mint State examples of the 1829 Large 10C Dime. Of those, the finest is a single PCGS MS67.
