BCCS Rarity Ratings Survey - Barber Dimes |
In the early 1990's, the Barber Coin Collectors' Society conducted a survey among its members to ascertain rarity ratings for
Barber dimes, quarters, and halves. The survey did not estimate the actual number of surviving pieces, but rather a
rating for relative availability and rarity. The BCCS is planning to conduct a new survey for all four Barber coins (including
Liberty Nickels) in the coming couple of years.

BCCS Barber Dime Survey Results |
For the sake of this survey, the following rarity ratings were used:
R1: Common, readily available
R2: Less common - Available at most shows, but in limited quantity
R3: Scarce - somewhat difficult to find, only a few likely at larger shows
R4: Very scarce - may or may not find at larger shows/auctions
R5: Rare - unlikely more than 5 at shows or auctions each year
R6: Very rare - Almost never seen, only one may be offered for sale in a year’s time
R7: Prohibitively rare - one may be offered for sale once every fews years
R8: Unique, or nearly so
