Another distinction of “CC” Liberty Seated silver dollars is that because of their low survival populations, the number of 10-piece “CC” coin type sets available to collectors is limited to 1,200 or fewer.

The 1870-CC is by far the most available date in the series, although it is estimated that less than 850 examples exist. The 1871-CC is notable because it has the lowest output of any coin ever struck at the Carson Mint. Of the 1,376 pieces originally coined, only 120 or fewer exist today.

The 1873-CC, with its diminutive mintage total of 2,300 is a key rarity, and is virtually tied with the 1871-CC in terms of extant survivors. 1872-CC silver dollars, though not as scarce as the two previously mentioned dates, are considered to be elusive by collectors, especially in higher condition ratings.
