I do not but an interesting question. If I had to guess I would say around 2600 total from the 63,000+ that were produced just under 5% or so.

According to ChatGPT, which holy mackerel is getting better frighteningly quickly,

1793 Chain Cent - Mintage: ~36,103, Surviving Population: ~1,000-1,500
1793 Wreath Cent - Mintage: ~63,353, Surviving Population: ~3,000-4,000
1793 Liberty Cap Cent - Mintage: ~11,056, Surviving Population: ~300-500

I'm lucky to have a ragged AG-details wreath, and hope someday to snag the other two.

Thank you for your help. I am lucky enough to have all three in Poor/Po Certification condition. Trying to determine universe possibility for collectors having all three.
