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 1973-D Lincoln Cent is really common in circulated grades all the way up to MS64 condition. In MS65, examples are difficut to find but can still be found in rolls, bags or in mint sets. Examples in MS66 are scarce as most have nicks, scratches or carbon spots. In MS67 condition they are really scarce and hard to find. Most of them have probably already been pulled from mint sets or rolls. There are less than two dozen known in MS67 or higher and one of the tougher issues from the memorial cent series.
