Here is a little Carson City Mint trivia related to those who have CC coins minted between 1870 and 1875. Your coins were minted on Coin Press #1 which still exists and is still in operation at the Nevada State Museum housed in the original Carson City Mint Building.
This is a photo taken inside the Carson City Mint back in the day:

OK, and in response to the OP's question, I would have to check to see what the oldest non Morgan Carson City minted coin is that I own, but here is a specimen of mine dated from the Carson City Mint's first year, 1870, and it was minted on Carson City Coin Press #1.
OK, here’s my only CC coin, and I believe it’s the first 20 cent piece posted in this thread. Yes, it’s been dipped, but apparently gently enough that CAC still gave it a sticker. Some collectors refer to these as “Double Dimes”:

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
I am not a big Carson City mint collector. Here's my oldest, 1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
@Manifest_Destiny - yes, my 1870-cc 25c is PCGS VG10. It was purchased through DLRC in 2015 and is pedigreed to the Landon collection, which came up for auction in Canada some time prior to my purchase. Here is a story about the collection.

Impressive!
What’s the grade on that 93cc DE? I’m not seeing any wear and if that’s the case, I would say that qualifies as a ‘go big’ kinda coin!😉

I am not a big Carson City mint collector. Here's my oldest, 1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece.
Oldest in terms of ownership. Bought this first and was raw.
Both are 45.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
Wish I never sold this.
Wow, super coin.
The oldest CC coins I have photos of ...
1874-CC WB3 (R4) VG8 CAC
1874-CC WB1 (R6) G6
I'll play.

My earliest Carson City Coin is this 1870 dollar, like a number of others that have been shown.

Oldest quarter and my only CC dime:
Another $1.55 in pocket change for the change jar courtesy of the old Carson City CRV bottle redemption center.
That's an awesome original coin, and was even noted in the Landon write up.
