1824 Large Cents come in two major varieites: Normal Date and an 1824/1 overdate. This narrative covers the Normal Date.

Overall, the 1824 Large Cent is not a particularly rare date, but because it was never found in hoard quantities, it is decidedly more difficult to locate a Mint State 1824 Large Cent than an 1817, 1818, 1820, and even an 1816. Those 1824 Large Cents that have survived in Mint State tend to be middle-of-the-road (MS62 to MS64) and very few Gems are available to satisfy collector demand. We know of only a small handful that qualify as MS65 or better. Red-Brown examples are extremely scarce, but they tend to be nicer than the Brown examples. We are unaware of any 1824 Large Cents that would qualify as full Red.

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.
