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 1955 Proof Lincoln Cent is one of the more common Proofs in the Wheat Lincoln Cent series, as it has one of the higher mintages for the Proof Wheat design. In non Cameo or Deep Cameo condition it is common up to about PR67. Anything grading higher is much tougher to find. In Cameo condition it is easily obtainable up to about PR66 condition. In PR67 Cameo or higher it is much scarcer. In Deep Cameo condition it is scarce in any condition. Anything grading higher than PR67 Deep Cameo is considered rare.
