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.

Despite the fact that its mintage is slighty less than the mintage of the 1874-CC, the 1875-CC is a much commoner date than the 1874-CC. The difference in rarity is especially evident in Unc. where the 1874-CC is rare and the 1875-CC is relatively common. As a date, the 1875-CC is one of the three most common Carson City Mint twenties (the 1884-CC and the 1890-CC are the other two) and it is also one of the most common in mint state. A substantial number of uncs (literally hundreds of pieces) exist and only in gem condition can the 1875-CC be considered rare.
