Jaime Hernandez

This is one of the most diffcult Wheat Lincoln Cents that exist in MS66 condition or higher from 1930 to 1958. Most examples come weakly struck, with nicks and scratches that is extremely difficult to find any examples grading MS65 or higher. Even original rolls contain mostly MS63 and lower grade coins. In MS64 they are somewhat scarce but are easily obtainable with most examples being raw. In MS65 condition it begins to be scarce with many examples already being graded. In MS66 it's very difficult to find and one of the tougher issues from 1930-1958. In MS67 condition they are truly scarce with less than a handful known to exist and none being finer.

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.
