Jaime Hernandez

The 1948-S Lincoln Cent is a common issue in the Lincoln Cent series. Over 80 million examples were struck and many of them were saved in rolls or even bags. Examples in circulated grades up to about MS66 can easily be found from rolls or can be bought at a very affordable price. In MS67 they are scarce. Anything grading higher than MS67 is very scarce to rare.

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.
