The Carson City Mint was a branch of the United States Mint located in Carson City, Nevada. It operated from 1870 to 1893 and played a significant role in the production of gold and silver coins during the late 19th century. Here are some key points about the Carson City Mint:Establishment: The decision to establish the Carson City Mint was influenced by the discovery of silver in the Comstock Lode near Virginia City, Nevada. Construction began in 1866, and the mint opened in 1870. Production: The Carson City Mint primarily produced silver coins, including Seated Liberty and Morgan Silver Dollars, as well as gold coins such as Half Eagles (5-dollar coins) and Double Eagles (20-dollar coins). The mint's output was relatively small compared to other branches. Mint Mark: Coins minted in Carson City are distinguished by the "CC" mint mark, which is found on the reverse of the coin. The presence of the Carson City mint mark often adds collectible value to the coins. Morgan Silver Dollars: The Carson City Mint is particularly famous for its production of Morgan Silver Dollars. The Morgan Dollars minted in Carson City, especially those from the 1870s and 1880s, are highly sought after by collectors. Closure: The Carson City Mint faced challenges such as fluctuations in precious metal production and political pressures. It ceased coin production in 1893 due to the Coinage Act of 1893, which led to the discontinuation of the free coinage of silver. Surviving Coins: Today, coins minted in Carson City are considered numismatic treasures, and collectors often seek them for their historical significance and scarcity. The coins' rarity is influenced by the limited production during the years the mint operated. CC Mint Mark on Gold Coins: Carson City also produced gold coins, and examples like the Carson City-minted Double Eagles are particularly prized by collectors. Collectible Value: The rarity and historical significance of Carson City Mint coins contribute to their collectible value.
