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 1957 Proof Lincoln cent is really difficult to find with Deep Cameo surfaces. There are probably no more than 35 - 40 examples that exist displaying full Deep Cameo surfaces. With cameo surfaces the 1957 is also somewhat difficult as there are approximately 400 - 450 examples that display full cameo surfaces.

All Proof Lincoln cents from 1950 - 1958 seem to be very difficult to find with Cameo and Deep Cameo surfaces. The 1957 seems to be in the middle, as it is not the scarcest nor the most common.
