Be the Gold Rush Success Story Everyone Talks About

I’ll cut right to the chase. I’m talking about this stuff because I think we’re looking at an opportunity we haven’t had in a while.

Your grandparents have more to offer than age-old wisdom and picking you up from school.

This week’s question is from Reddit:


That's a great question. Throughout history, there have been many mints. The most famous are Denver, Philadelphia, and San Francisco (P, D, & S mint marks, with Philadelphia sometimes blank). Other notable mints include New Orleans (O) and Carson City (CC).

Carson City, located in Nevada, operated in the mid-1800s during the Wild West era. The population out West was much smaller than in the East, requiring fewer coins. The instability of the Wild West led to many coins being destroyed, stolen, or melted down. As a result, Carson City produced fewer coins, and even fewer have survived.

This rarity and rich historical context make Carson City coins particularly attractive to collectors.
