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.

David Hall:

The 1911 Lincoln cent is one of the more common early Lincolns in circulated grades, a product of the relatively large mintage of the Philadelphia issues compared to those of Denver and San Francisco. For example, in 1911, the mintage of the 1911 Philadelphia was 101,177,787, while the mintage for the 1911 Denver was 12,672,000 and the 1911 San Francisco was 4,026,000. In mint state, the 1911 is scarcer than the 1909 and 1910, and is about as scarce as the 1912.

Most 1912s are well struck. Full red Gems are available and often have a very rich Red color.
