The 1950-P Lincoln cent is very difficult to find in grades of MS64 and higher. In grades of MS65 it is considered scarce. In grades of MS66 and higher it compares to the 1946P, 47P, 48P, 50P, 51P, 52P and 53P as they are all tough dates to find in high grade condition. In MS67 grades the 1950-P is extremely tough with less than 20 examples known and none being graded higher.
