Historic Carson City Mint

Why “Carson City”?

A nod to one of America’s favorite mint marks.

The Carson City Mint struck coins in Nevada during the silver boom years. Today, the small “CC” mint mark carries a lot of romance and value for collectors — a tangible link to frontier history, silver mining, and the Old West.

That spirit is the inspiration for Carson City Trading Post: serious about rare coins, respectful of history, and focused on helping people collect, understand, and appraise with confidence.

Favorite focus
