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):
All the early Carson City Mint Eagles are very rare and the 1876-CC is no exception. In terms of overall rarity, it is on a par with the 1872-CC, 1873-CC and 1875-CC and is only a little less rare than the 1878-CC. From the standpoint of condition rarity, it is near the top of the series ranking fourth according to average grade. As is the case with the other CC Eagles of this period, most 1876-CC Eagles are softly struck on the hair curls around Liberty's face.
