A New Adventure in the Collecting of “CC” Coins and Studying Carson City Mint History has Begun

• Numismatic Literary Guild’s 2021 Book of the Year &

Best Specialized Book in United States or Early American Coins Category

• Professional Numismatists Guild Robert Friedberg Award Winner

Rusty Goe’s new three-volume set, The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, provides a time-capsule glimpse of all the knowledge available for discovery about the Carson City Mint’s history and the coins that have survived from that place leading up to the 150th anniversary (2020) of the mint’s opening in January 1870. Just about anything anyone would want to know about the mint and its coins can be found in these three volumes.

Q. David Bowers, in his Foreword to Goe’s three-volume set, wrote:

The current volumes are monumental additions to the existing literature on the Carson City Mint. I have never seen a more exhaustive study of coins (of any kind) presented. I am greatly impressed with The Confident Carson City Coin Collector.

Details about The Confident Carson City Coin Collector include:

• Three hardback volumes, 8.5” x 11” in dimensions

• The page count is approximately 2,500

• Color images fill numerous pages; at least one zoomed image (obverse and reverse) of all 111 date-denominations with the “CC” mintmark

• Historical Setting narratives for every year of the Carson City Mint’s coinmaking years (1870 - 1893)

• Coin Commentary sections provide extensive studies of all Carson City silver and gold date-denominations; surviving population data, pedigrees, pricing, and auction appearances are all updated as of year-end 2018

• An entire chapter is devoted to the coinmaking process at the Carson City Mint; images of the various processes complement this study

• Significant error coins with the “CC” mintmark receive due attention, as do chopmarked Trade dollars, various varieties, and canceled dies

• The Appendices add much depth to the earlier chapters in the volumes; never-before-revealed information adds great value to this back-matter material

Commentators have declared that Rusty Goe’s first full-length book, The Mint on Carson Street (2003), stimulated much interest in the collecting of Carson City coins. Many notable collections of “CC” coins were built in the aftermath of the release of that book. Many builders of such collections credited The Mint on Carson Street for inspiring them to begin (or become more passionate about) their pursuits of “CC” coins. Goe’s new three-volume set is sure to ignite (or rekindle) such interest in many people’s minds. The Confident Carson City Coin Collector will serve as the definitive reference work about the Carson City Mint and its coins for decades to come.
