Jaime Hernandez

The 1975-D Lincoln Cent came well struck. Examples up to MS66 condition or very common. In MS67 they are much scarcer. Enough coins exist to meet collectors demand, especially since the U.S. mint struck over 4.5 billion examples.

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.
