That statement is true for most but not all dates, 1870 being a major exception.
Carson City was a small mint established to produce coins near the mines, so that raw bullion didn't have to be transported long distances. Its size meant that it produced far fewer coins than larger mints such as Philadelphia or San Francisco, so its coins are usually rarer. In addition they carry a certain romantic "cachet" due to the mint's location in frontier territory and the history of silver mining in Nevada - see for example the Comstock Lode.
All 1882 Trade Dollars are a "Proof" only issue. All were minted in Philadelphia, none at Carson City. So if you have an 1882-CC Trade Dollar it's a fake with no value.
Carson-City minted coins have lower mintage. This is what drives the values.
This coin graded EF40 is worth around $101. You may get more or less when you take it to a collector.If the coin has been certified & slabbed by one of the major grading services, the label should read "With EF-40 details" not graded EF-40 with details. This usually means the coin has been cleaned or has other damage but the coin does have the details of a EF-40 grade. Current average retail value of a EF-40 1878-CC Morgan, as of 7-1-11, is $90.00-$100.00 this is one of the more common Carson-City Mint Morgans
ALL genuine coins are worth something, whether it be simply their face value, their metal value, or their value to a collector. Coins from Carson City tend to have fairly high collector values because that mint made only silver and gold coins and made fewer of them than most other mints. In any case without knowing the coin's date, denomination, and how worn it is, it's not possible to say anything more. Please post a new and more specific question if you're interested in an evaluation.
Ask the Mayor of how much he is willing to sell his city for
Sorry no such coin.
The earliest Carson City silver dollar is the 1870-CC Seated Liberty dollar.
The Carson City Mint opend in 1869
Look on the reverse and then look above the DO in dollar. If you see the two letters CC you have a silver dollar from the Carson City mint. This was the mintmark that the Carson City mint used.
No. The Carson City mint closed in 1893.
No the first Carson City Dollar coin was the 1870 Seated Liberty
There were no silver dollars struck at Carson City in 1887. Any 1887 dollar with a CC mint mark is a counterfeit.
Sorry the Carson City Mint wasn't even built in 1838
Carson City dollars are very popular and are generally lower mintages. Low supply and high demand makes for higher prices.
Please check your coin again. It's a dollar rather than "doolar" and it can't be from 1847 because the Carson City Mint opened in 1870.
The Carson City Mint wasn't even built until 1869.
Please check your coin again. The Carson City Mint closed in 1893.
