No Morgan dollars were struck at the Carson-City Mint in 1886, 1887 or 1888. Any coins with these dates and "CC" mintmarks are fake.
No. The Carson City mint closed in 1893.
Nothing since that coin doesn't exist. Morgan dollars were first struck in 1878. Furthermore, the Carson City mint wouldn't strike coins until 1870. So your coin doesn't exist.
A "Carson City Morgan Dollar" is simply a Morgan dollar produced at the Carson City, Nevada, mint. Such a coin can be identified by the mintmark "CC" on the reverse of the coin, beneath the tail feathers of the eagle.
In 1885 the US mint at Carson City, Nevada struck 228,000 silver Morgan Dollars. Dollars were the only coins being struck at Carson City in 1885 although dimes, quarters and half dollars had been minted there in prior years.
I assume you mean the MINT MARK. The position is the same on all Morgan dollars - on the back above the DO in DOLLAR. No mint mark = Philadelphia S = San Francisco O = New Orleans CC = Carson City D = Denver (1921 coins only)
This is really two different questions rolled into one."Morgan" refers to a particular design of $1 coins issued from 1878 to 1904 and in 1921.Carson City refers to a mint where coins were made during the years 1870-1893. Morgan dollars were among the many different kinds of coins struck there. They have a small CC mint mark over the DO in DOLLAR on the back side.Because Carson City generally produced fewer coins than some of the other mints at the time, its coins tend to be more valuable than their counterparts with the same date but different mint marks. That's not a hard and fast rule, though.
One group is a subset of the other. "Morgan dollar" refers to the design by George T. Morgan that was issued from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. Carson City refers to one of the mints where dollars were struck. The Carson City mint operated from about 1870 to 1893, and it struck Seated Liberty design dollars, Trade dollars, and Morgan design dollars. The Morgan design was also minted at Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Denver. So ... a Morgan Carson City dollar is one that was struck between 1878 and 1893 at the Carson City Mint. But not all Morgan dollars were struck at Carson City, and not all dollars struck at Carson City are Morgans. (see Venn diagrams in high school math!)
Sorry no Carson City mint marks in 1887 on a Morgan dollar. Look at the coin again.
The Carson City, Nevada Mint produced 3 different series of one dollar coins from 1870 to 1893. Seated Liberty / 19,288 Trade Dollar / 4,211,400 Morgan dollar / 13,862,041 TOTAL= 18,092,729
Sorry, no 1897 Carson City Morgan's were struck, the last year was 1893
