[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 26692489, member: 151874"]I was able to get back to the coin shop today and I managed to get a couple of decent upgrades for my type set. One of them was a pretty buffalo nickel and the other was a capped bust dime. After getting home, I started to look into my current capped bust dime (a very well-circulated one) and PCGS has this particular coin at something like 150 survivors and at R7. So what I am curious about is the accuracy of these estimates, including that R number. For clarity, it's a 1823 Large E dime that is getting bumped out for a 1837. I'd guess the 1837 might be in the XF range, and the 1823 [I]maybe [/I]Fine on a good day. Anyways is their survival estimate something that might be construed as under- or over-estimated and would that then change the rarity number associated with it? I recall before when I had posted about my California fractional and mentioned that R number someone else had said they saw an entirely different number elsewhere. Curiosity sometimes gets the better of me so I find myself coming back here and starting a new topic to be short-lived and hopefully walk away a bit wiser.
