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:

The 1915-P Lincoln cent is one of the most difficult wheat Lincoln cents to find in Red Uncirculated grades that were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Only the 1914-P is tougher than the 1915-P in Red Uncirculated grades from all Philadelphia struck wheat Lincoln cents.

MS60 - MS64 Red: In MS60 to MS64 Red there are many examples available. Most Uncirculated Red examples fall somewhere in this grade range.

MS65 Red: In MS65 Red they are scarce but yet still obtainable. There are possibly a couple hundred examples that survive in MS65 Red .

MS66 Red: In MS66 Red it is considered very scarce with only about 80 - 85 examples in this grade available.

MS67Red: In MS67 Red it is considered truly scarce with only 5 or so examples known to exist.

MS68 Red: In MS68 it is considered rare since there is only one coin known in the grade of MS68 Red.
