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.

#1 MS67RD PCGS grade

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1928-P Lincoln Cent is very common in all circulated grades. It is also fairly affordable in MS65 condition or lower. In MS66 condition, it begins to command a significant premium over MS65 prices but there are still hundreds of examples in existence in MS66 condition. In MS67 condition it is more difficult to obtain and commands a significant premium. Anything grading higher than MS67 is usually for very dedicated Lincoln cent collectors and expect to pay a significant price for any example in MS67+ or higher.
