Bought my first Carson City coin!

RLSnapper

With the Large Cent set almost complete I felt compelled to scratch that buying itch. My funds have to be held in reserve for when the right LC shows up I can pounce! However what coin collector worth his salt doesn't have at least one Carson City coin. When I saw this coin I couldn't resist. A pretty coin that I can touch from Carson City...had to have it! Let me know what you think.....this coin bought plenty of whiskey back in the Wild West...I plan on having a shot or 2 every time I look at it.

That coin has definitely done its job, probably would have bought a bottle back when it was minted.

wonderful circulated example and yes, could have done it's job at the bordello, too!

I like the light toning. Fun piece.

Love it
Still remember my first one (last year)
1883-CC MS63 CAC. My dad was proud of me for acquiring it.

Congratulations! It’s always fun to get something new that you’ve never owned…

Only a little over a year ago. I finally got my first $.20 piece ever and it is exciting.

Your coin reminds me of my first CC, an 1878 Morgan just as smooth as yours. My Dad took me to his usual dealer when I was about 12 and he sold it to me for $5.

Tony was the dealer’s name and he always had a big roll of hundreds in his pocket that could choke a horse along with a big chaw of tobacco in his cheek that could do the same.

If that coin could only talk……
Congrats on your 1st cc! Nice looking coin. Love the subtle toning!
Just picked up my first cc last year.

I'm thrilled for you!

When I was a kid, I knew that I would never own a CC coin, but a boy could dream. Many decades later, I got my first, and I still feel the excitement.

Congratulations, Carson City is my favorite mint lol. Coins struck there have always captivated me.I find the history amazing. I actually did a project on the CC mint in middle school. You should be proud to own that.

Looks like that CC Quarter helped build the wild west. Congrats on your purchase. That will not be your only CC. Trust me
