Ron Guth

In 1872, Mint employees struck 950 Proof Dimes for potential sale to collectors. A substantial number of Proof examples of this date are available to collectors, mosty in grades from PR62 to PR64. Gems are rare, but not overly so, and even PR66's are available. The top grade appears to be PR67.

This date consists of well-made examples, of which perhaps as much as 20-25% of the population shows Cameo contrast. PCGS has not yet recognixed even a single Deep Cameo 1872 Dime and it is unlikely that they exist at all.

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.
