VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR THE GRADE BUT HAD TO PAY UP

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1895-O Barber Quarter has a mintage of over 2.8 million examples struck, however far fewer examples actually exist. Our PCGS CoinFacts condition Census estimates about 2,500 examples remain in existence. And the PCGS population Report shows about 300 examples have been graded in all grades combined. So, despite its large mintage, it seems far fewer examples were saved. Coins in Uncirculated condition are scarce, especially in MS65 or higher.

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.
