The state of Nevada was part of the Utah Territory, in Carson County. The first settlers arrived in Eagle Valley in 1851, establishing a trading post for the great 'gold' migrations to California. Most of the settlers returned to Salt Lake City with the ebbing of the California Gold Rush, and an empty Eagle Valley was ultimately purchased for $500 and some horses by New Yorker Abraham Curry and friends. Curry founded Carson City (named after the trailblazer Kit Carson) in 1858, but his wildest dreams of building a city could never have envisioned the growth that would follow the 1859 discovery of the Comstock Lode. The Comstock Lode was the richest deposit of silver ore ever found. At first, the silver ore (and smaller quantities of gold) were shipped over the Sierra Nevada Range to the San Francisco Mint, at great expense. The Carson City Mint eliminated transportation expense helping Carson City grow and prosper.
Although legislation authorizing the creation of the U. S. Mint at Carson City was passed by both houses of Congress on March 3, 1863, construction did not begin until three years later. Work proceeded so slowly that three more years passed before coining machinery arrived. The first six-ton press arrived at the Carson Mint in 1869. On February 11, 1870, this press struck the first coin bearing the soon-to-be-famous CC mintmark. For nearly a quarter of a century The Carson City Mint struck most of the coin denominations from 1870 to 1885 and again from 1889 to 1893. The Carson City Mint ceased coining operations in 1893 and the presses were removed in 1899. Through the efforts of Judge Clark J. Guild and other local businessmen, the antique press was purchased by the state of Nevada for $225 and arrived back in Carson City in 1958. After a thorough cleaning and painting, it quickly became one of the favorite attractions in the Nevada State Museum, now housed in the original mint building.
The first coins were struck on February 11, 1870, followed shortly thereafter by $10-CC Liberty Gold Eagles. The first $20-CC Liberty Gold Double Eagles were struck on March 10, 1870 Mintages during these early years at the Carson City Mint were very low because many mine owners still preferred to use the San Francisco Mint or to keep their output in ingot form. Production from the Nevada mines fell during the early 1890s, and on June 1, 1893, Mint Director Preston ceased coining operations.
