The 1874 Indian Cent is somewhat of a scarcer issue if compared to most of the other dates in the series. But, yet not a key date. In circulated grades it is easily available and carries a small premium over the type coins in the series. In Uncirculated grades it becomes scarcer with about 2,000 in existence, in all Uncirculated grades combined.

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.
