Post your Carson city coins here. Carson city coins were only made in the US . It can be any kind of grade. I don't have a any Carson city coins, but I wish I did. If the coin has Carson City on it, post it. Thanks Noah

The CC Morgans can be addicting... even after I completed my set, I continued to buy a few more.... Something about the CC mint mark and the history of Carson City silver that is intriguing and addicting. Cheers, RickO

Not trying to hijack your thread but pretty sure China and Russia made quite a few too.

Hi Noah, welcome aboard.

I don't have a Carson City coin either, but I hope to change that in 2018.

Nice looking pieces everyone!!!

Thanks for sharing them.

My 1883-CC Morgan Dollar, purchased for $15.00 in a batch of "Mixed CC Dollars" in the GSA sale. The mixed CC dollars were described by the GSA as having never before been circulated by the US Government but culled out of the entire Government holding of CC dollars since they did not meet the numismatic standards for "uncirculated" certification. Now in a NGC MS65PL holder.

Carson City is a wonderful western town. I posted this on another thread but it is my last purchase of 2017. I just want to look at it one more time...take care.

I am not sure. The difference between an early die state BF-1 and BF-5 is challenging from images. Either way, both die marriages are rare.

@astrorat @KindaNewish

After looking through the doubledimes Website, I think this is the more common BF-2 variety. The obverse is clearly from obverse die 1, but the mint-mark location seems to be "High Close CC". Interestingly, I don't see any of the die gouges around stars 1 and 2 on the photo and the BF-2 was the final use of the obverse die. I'll look with a loupe when I get a chance.

Hi Noah,
I really do not do coin photography. If I can get my wife to take a few pictures (she is not at all interested in coins) I will PM them to you.... this could take time. Cheers, RickO

Yes, you are correct. It's the BF-2 die marriage. The close-up of the mintmark really helped.

Nice photography, by the way!

CC's are incredible!

StampCoinGuy777

My question is, why are Carson city coins so valuable.

CommemKing

Most CC coins have relatively low montages compared to the other branch mint coins. That’s definately the case for Morgan Dollars and CC gold. That and all the nostalgia behind them.

Poor quality scanner image but it's the best I can do until I get a proper image.
