CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

These coins are fairly common in all grades. A collector should not have much difficulty finding specimens with original color and Full Details. In comparison to coins struck in 1934 and after, these coins could be considered scarce to rare. Note: For fun take a look at the Lincoln cent mintages for 1931, 1932, & 1933 and see if you can find smaller mintages before 1934. (No fair counting 1922) / CONSTRUCTION BEGAN ON THE HOOVER DAM ON THE COLORADO RIVER IN SEPT. 1931

Expert Comments

Ron Guth

According to a notice in the June 1934 issue of The Numismatist (p. 416), collectors could still purchase Uncirculated 1931 Cents for "the face value of the coins and an amount sufficient to cover the mail charrges by first-class mail."

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.
