Carson City Mint. The Carson City Mint was a branch of the United States Mint in Carson City, Nevada. It primarily minted low numbers of silver coins; however, gold was also minted in greater numbers. The mint was in operation for about 19 years.
In addition to the coins minted for general circulation, the United States Mint also produces Proof Presidential Dollars. These specially minted coins are issued within annual sets or other numismatic products created for collectors.
