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 1955-D Lincoln cent is very difficult to find in MS66 grade or higher. Most MS66 examples are average for the grade as this issue has lots of corrosion spots, nicks and scratches and usually just misses the MS66 grade or higher. Few examples that are in MS66 condition are very nice for the grade and any example that is a high end MS66 is a steal if it can be purchased for a regular MS66 price.

In MS67 they are almost unheard of. Even with several of them being graded in MS67 most of the examples just made it for the grade. One of the tougher dates from the 1950's.
