The 1942-P Lincoln Cent is fairly common as hundreds of millions of them were struck. Most of them still exist but many of them are in circulated condition. Examples in uncirculated condition can be purchased for a few cents to a few dollars each. Only in MS66 condition and higher are they scarce. Anything grading higher than MS67 is a very scarce coin as very few examples exist nicer than MS67 condition.

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.	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.
