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.

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1919-D Lincoln Cent can be considered one of the semi key dates, as most early teens and twenties Lincoln Cents from the Denver and San Francisco Mints' are considered semi key dates also.

The 1919-D is however ,one of the more common dates from the Denver and San Francisco Mint from the early date coins in the series. Examples in MS63 and MS64 still exist in the hundreds. In MS65 condition, they become much scarcer but enough examples remain to keep prices affordable for most serious collectors. In MS66 condition it is very scarce, with less than a few dozen known. In MS67 condition or higher it is almost unheard of with the exception of 1 or so examples verified.
