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.

The 1936-P circulation strike Lincoln Cent is one of the more common dates and mint marks from the series. The Mint struck them in the hundreds of millions and enough rolls were saved that examples in higher grades of MS65-MS66 are abundant. Only in MS67 condition is it considered scarce. Although hundreds of examples have been verified in MS67 Red conditiion, yet, they are still tough to find in rolls. It might just be best to buy an MS67 Red graded example than to try and find one.
