Kensanders32 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 02:06 am Folks, My brother passed away recently, and I inherited his coin collection. He had a coin that I don't think existed in circulation. It is a 1901 Morgan silver dollar. When I looked at the mint mark, it is clearly CC. The odd thing is that I understood the Carson City mint stopped producing coins years before this. Does anyone know of any special minting at the CC mint? Any help would be appreciated.

The Carson City Mint stopped producing coins long before 1901. However this coin may still be composed of silver. Post pictures to get a better opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

There was no minting equipment left in the Carson City Mint by 1901, even if someone had wanted to strike something. Report this Post to the Staff
