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.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

Jaime Hernandez:

Proof Lincoln cents from 1950- 1958 are amongst some of the most difficult coins to find that display Cameo or Deep Cameo surfaces. The 1952 Proof Lincoln cent is no exception. It is the second toughest coin from 1950 - 1958 to find with Cameo or Deep Cameo surfaces.

The 1952 Proof Lincoln Cent compares to the 1951 in scarcity, as far as Cameo and Deep Cameo surfaces are concerned. However, the 1951 is definitely the most difficult coin with Cameo or Deep Cameo surfaces in the 1950 - 1958 Proof Lincoln Cent series. There are approximately 150 - 175 surviving 1952 Proof Lincoln cents that display Cameo surfaces. With Deep Cameo surfaces, they become even scarcer with possibly no more than 10 examples known.
