Here’s a rare example to add to your coin collection, one that carries the famous “CC” mintmark upon the reverse. Carson City gold coins are sought-after by both specialists and collectors. The 1883-CC ten had a small mintage of only 9,925. Several Carson City issues had similar lower mintages. To discover why, please see below.

In an interview with Nevada Magazine in 2018, Carson City specialist Rusy Goe discusses the Bonanza Kings of the Comstock Lode; they owned the two most productive mines at the Comstock. Goe states that they sent the vast majority of their gold and silver bullion to San Francisco. “They would never claim not to support [the Carson City Mint],” said Goe, “but they seemed to send just 10 percent or less to Carson.”
