This is the second year in which the Mint struck Indian Cents. Despite its reported mintage of 1,000 coins struck, there are probably much less in existence. Possibly around 200-300 examples survive in all grades combined. Most examples that still survive appear to be in PR64 condition. In PR65 condition they are difficult to obtain with about 50 examples known. In PR66 condition they are very scarce with less than a handful of examples known with none existing in any higher grade.

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.
