Jaime Hernandez

The 1908 Indian Cent is one of the more common dates in the series. It's mintage is well over 32 million coins struck. Buying a circulated example is fairly inexpensive in most grades, until you get to about AU condition then examples become significantly higher. In Uncirculated grades they start to become much scarcer, especially in MS65 condition or higher. In MS66 condition there are less than a couple hundred examples known. In MS67 condition it is extremely scarce with less than a handful known.

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.
