In that year some reverse dies with the Carson City mintmark were converted to New Orleans dies by partially effacing the CC mintmark and punching an O mintmark in the same place, as by that time it was realized that no more dollars would ever be made in Carson City. Thus was created the 1900-O/cc dollar.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Did some CC dies get effaced &amp; reused a few months earlier?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
