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.

Jaime Hernandez:

There are several 1971 Doubled Dies this year, so make sure you check your 1971 Lincoln Cents. The Type 1 seems to be the most popular and commands a strong premium, especially in uncirculated condition. Collectors, should have no trouble finding a 1971-P Lincoln Cent, even in uncirculated condition. Only in MS67 or higher are they scarce.
