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.

David Akers (1975/88):
Along with the 1875-CC and 1890-CC, the 1884-CC is one of the three most common Double Eagles from the Carson City Mint. It can easily be located in any circulated grade up to AU and average quality uncs are only moderately scarce.
Ron Guth:
The Saddle Ridge Hoard of gold coins, discovered in northern California in 2013, contained only two 1884-CC Double Eagles, a PCGS AU55 and a PCGS MS61. Neither example affected the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census.
