If you want to stick with Carson City, you could buy yourself a 1878 CC in MS 64. They go for around $600-$650, perfect for your budget. Otherwise, a nice, appealing 1880 or 81 S also sounds good.
1883 or 1884 will net you the highest graded Carson City coins for the money, but coinlover168's idea of keys in lesser grades is worth a look. You could get a decent 1889-CC for $650.
