Jaime Hernandez

The 1931-D is the most difficult issue struck at the Denver Mint from 1930 to 1958 and probably to date. In MS66 there are probably no more than 50 examples in existence and only one example is known by PCGS to exist in MS67 condition.

Ron Guth

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

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.
