CC is the mark of the Carson City Mint, which operated from 1870 to 1893. Carson City minted mostly larger-denomination coins, although dimes were struck there from 1871 to 1878.

Look on the back of a coin minted during that range of dates. If it has a mint mark, it will normally be on the back. You may also find an S for San Francisco or an O for New Orleans. Coins without a mint mark were minted in Philadelphia; the P mint mark wasn't used until the mid-20th century.

When you coat a silver coin with CuSO4 and apply an electric current, at the anode (where oxidation occurs), the silver coin will lose electrons and dissolve into the solution as silver ions (Ag+). This is because silver is more reactive than copper, so it will dissolve to form silver ions while copper will be deposited onto the coin.
