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.

David Akers (1975/88): The 1877-CC has the third lowest mintage of any Eagle from the Carson City Mint. However, it is not as rare as the similar mintage 1878-CC nor its it quite as rare as the 1872-CC, 1873-CC, 1875-CC or 1876-CC. Instead, it compares more closely in overall rarity to the 1871-CC and 1874-CC. Like most CC Eagles of this decade, the typical 1877-CC is well worn and softly struck on the hair curls around Liberty's face. However, for some unknown reason, this date does appear more often in high grade than the earlier issues from this Mint and, in addition to a few choice EF's, there are several AU-Unc specimens known, including at least one in choice mint state.
