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.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1976-D Lincoln cent is very common as the Mint struck over 4.2 billion examples. This issue can easily be pulled from circulation in circulated grades up to about MS64 condition. Examples in MS65 to MS66 are much more difficult to find but enough examples exist that one can be purchased very inexpensively. Examples in MS67 condition are very difficult to find and expect to pay a significant premium to buy one. Anything grading higher than MS67 is considered very scarce to rare.
