<p>[QUOTE=&quot;troublesbrewin, post: 573144, member: 16993&quot;]The Carson City mint was a relatively short lived mint (1870-1893) which primarily produced silver coins. The CC mintmark was generally hand stamped into the dies before they were hardened, this double letter mintmark accounted for many varieties because they were crooked or very close together and alot of people collect these varieties. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You should definately read as much as you can to gain insight as to which coins are more valuable because of any number of reasons. Great numbers of these coins were hoarded or melted and their original mintage quantities are not reliable, so don&#039;t use those numbers as your only source of information as to availability. Common CC coins are Morgan dollars in 1883 and 1884, hoarded at the mint and massive numbers were released in the 70&#039;s which brought their values on mint state from the thousands of dollars each, down to a couple hundred dollars each. It&#039;s important to know these details so you don&#039;t mis-spend your hard earned money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
