Jaime Hernandez

There were over 4.8 billion Lincoln Cents struck at the Denver Mint in 1987. Making the 1987-D Lincoln cent very common.

Examples in uncirculated condition are abundant, up to about MS67 condition. In MS68 condition they become much scarcer. Anything grading higher above MS68 is very difficult to find.

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.
