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.

David Akers (1975/88):
The 1877-CC is very rare in all grades. I have not even heard of an uncirculated specimen nor has there ever been an auction record for one, at least not in the 337 sales included in my auction survey. As a date, the 1877-CC is comparable in rarity to the 1871-CC, 1872-CC and 1876-CC and a little less rare than the 1873-CC and 1875-CC. It is marginally more rare than the 1874-CC.
