The 1970-P Lincoln Cent is very common and examples can still be found in circulation, even examples in Mint State condition. This issue is only scarce in Ms66 and higher. In MS67 it is very scarce with less than a few hundred examples known. Anything grading MS68 or higher is definitely worth setting aside and keeping as it is rare in this condition or higher.

Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
