The Carson City mint only operated from 1870 to 1893. There are many fake "CC" coins with other dates so if you have an 1840 'dollar' with that mint mark it's a fake.
The US Mint did not produce any Trade Dollars in 1870. Mintage for the Trade Dollar began in 1873 and ended in 1885. If you have a trade dollar perhaps it is from a different country.

The CC mint mark only appears on coins minted at the Carson City Mint, which operated from 1870 to 1893. The position varies based on denomination but is usually underneath the eagle on the reverse side of the coin; on Morgan silver dollars it's above the DO in DOLLAR.
