The 1801 Dime is much like the 1800 Dime in terms of overall survival, but fewer Mint State 1801 Dimes exist today. In fact, Uncirculated 1801 Dimes are very rare and almost never nice. The finest example is the NGC MS65 Eugene Gardner example, followed by the PCGS MS63 from the Waldo Bolen Collection. After these two, the grade drops to MS61, where two or three examples exist.

Two die varieties make up the entire mintage of 1801 Dimes.

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.

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.
