Are Carson City Liberty Dimes On Your Most Wanted List?

United States coins with the Carson City Mint mark are actively sought out by collectors for a several reasons aside from their widely popular designs.

Many of these “change coins” circulated heavily in the “Wild West” where coins were preferred to paper money and small cents coins like these were used in everyday transactions and just plumb wore out.

Finally, they’re also hard to find because the Carson City Mint struck coins for only twenty years, from 1870-1893. For these reasons, better-grade coins in highly desirable condition are a collector’s dream.
