Ron Guth

The 1844 Quarter Dollar is considered a common date even though its mintage is less than half that of the more highly regarded 1843-O. The difference in value can be attributed to a higher survival rate of Mint State Quarter Dollars.

The typical Uncirculated 1844 Quarter Dollar is MS63 with smaller populations flanking this grade. Gem examples are extremely rare and anything above MS65 is a super-rarity (if they exist at all).

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.
