Jaime Hernandez

The 1970-D Lincoln Cent is really common in most grades since the mint struck over 2.89 billion examples. They can easily be found in circulation up to about MS64 condition or lower. In MS65-MS67 they usually come in Uncirculated rolls or mint sets. Anything grading MS67 or higher is considered very scarce to rare.

Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
