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.

The 1930-D Lincoln cent is one of the scarcer issues in Gem Uncirculated grades from the 1930's. For the most part,1930-1934-D Lincoln cents are scarce in MS66 condition and higher and more so than the dates after 1934. This 1930-D is comparable to the 1932-D in MS66 condition. For the 1930-D there are probably no more than 200 examples that exist in this grade or higher. In MS67 condition it is very difficult to find since there are probably only 10 examples or so that exist in this condition with none being finer.
