The newly opened Carson City Mint had moved from striking a few thousand pieces every year to striking 8.2 million in 1876. Mint workers were overworked to the extreme, and production quality suffered immensely. They definitely knew about this very strong DDO, they just didn't care, as they wouldn't waste a perfectly good die.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are three reverse dies used with the 1876-CC DDO obverse.
