As per Heritage and CoinFacts, these would be my coins with the lowest Survival Estimates. I am excluding varieties, for example of large cents and dimes, which have lower survival estimates than for the year as a whole. 1822 Dime - estimated survival : 200 examples   1838-O Half Dime - estimated survival 200 examples   1872-CC Quarter - estimated survival: 120 examples   Edited by GERMANICVS

I really like that 1872-cc quarter germanicus. From the same year this S half eagle has a PCGS survival of 115.   Many French one and two francs I have from the 1820-1850 period have much lower survivals. The 1846K 1F is estimated at four by Le Franc, but that is probably a very limited reporting. These coins are highly sought when they are offered for sale. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire

I think I can get it down to a 4-6 estimate - at least, assuming that my attribution is correct, and that I correctly interpreted the catalogue... here is another example: Leicesterrijksdaalder type 2 1595 (Ag 28,14 g) - Province of Overijssel of the Dutch Republic. Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, was Governor-General (1585-1587) of the United Provinces, and sent by Queen Elisabeth to support the Dutch revolt against spain. OBV/ Leicester holding a bundle of arrows (symbol for the United provinces) CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESC UNT TRAN Lion mintmark REV/ Coats of arms of the 7 united provinces MO.ORD.PROVINC.FOED.BELG.AD.LEG.IMP Delm. 908 R3 var (unique) there are quite a few die abnormalities on the OBV of this coin compared to the few other survivors (one in the Deventer Museum): position of arrow bundle and sword and text CRESC UNT in full instead of CRES At the auction of Laurens Schulman 26 (19-20 november 2001, lot 1048) it was stated that this coin is probably a unique survivor. justification marks and some wear and tear, but a rare type indeed   |

I haven't checked all my US coins with the PCGS website, but this must be one of the lowest. 1892-S Barber quarter. Survival estimate: 3,000.  |

How would I go about finding out how many are still around? Say, the 1877 cent. Small mintage to start with but how many were melted or lost and how many saved?

1808 50C Overton 102 - Rarity 5. Estimated number believed to exist: 31 - 80 examples in all grades Finest known: XF45   1877-S Trade dollar RPD FS-301 Estimated number believed to exist: (?) Only 10 attributed by PCGS   IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Quote:1877 cent -- survival estimate 5000 from PCGS. Check that site below, you'll be amazed at what you can find! http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/2127 Thanks for the link. I'm not sure I understand this, though. For instance, the 1877 cent is listed at 5,000 survival but so is the 1891, 1899, 1908, and 1908-S. (Those were just ones I picked at random.) |

It's not uncommon for several dates to have similar survival estimates. If you got those numbers from PCGS then they are correct and that is their survival estimates. |

There's definitely a problem with those PCGS Indians. Even a common date like the 1905 has a survival of 5000. But when you look at the common 1922 Peace dollar survival is 10,000,000. It might have something to do with how many were slabbed. No one slabs 1905 cents unless they're extremely high grade unc. But millions of people filled the hole in their coin books with them.
