Coin collectors are very familiar with this town for the mint which produced the much-desired gold & silver coins that bear the "C.C." mint mark.
Named for explorer Kit Carson, this city is just east of Lake Tahoe at the western "elbow" of the state, this issue is from its heyday during the mining era. Today it is the capital of Nevada.

background: Carson City, Nevada, was founded in 1858 by businessman Abraham Curry, who envisioned it as a strategic center for commerce and transportation in the growing American West. Named after the legendary frontiersman Kit Carson, the town quickly became a key player in the region’s development. The discovery of silver in the nearby Comstock Lode in 1859 brought a massive influx of settlers and miners, leading to an economic boom in the area. In 1861, during the Civil War, Carson City was designated the capital of Nevada Territory, and when Nevada became a state in 1864, it retained this status. The Carson City Mint, established in 1870, became famous for minting silver coins using metal from the Comstock Lode, cementing the city’s importance in the silver rush. While the initial wealth from mining spurred rapid growth, the city's economy fluctuated with the rise and fall of mining fortunes. Over time, Carson City became more reliant on government services and agriculture. The city experienced slow but steady growth in the 20th century, bolstered by the tourism and recreation industries thanks to its proximity to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Today, Carson City retains its role as the state capital, with a vibrant historical district that showcases its rich past, while also embracing modern growth and a more diverse economy.
