Best Answer

CC is the mark of the Carson City Mint, which operated from 1870 to 1893. Carson City minted mostly larger-denomination coins, although dimes were struck there from 1871 to 1878.

Look on the back of a coin minted during that range of dates. If it has a mint mark, it will normally be on the back. You may also find an S for San Francisco or an O for New Orleans. Coins without a mint mark were minted in Philadelphia; the P mint mark wasn't used until the mid-20th century.

How can you tell if a coin is silver?

Silver dimes, quarters, and half-dollars sound different when dropped than their modern counterparts. Also, if you look at the sides, you will not see any copper on a silver coin, but you will on a modern coin. Another way is to look at the date on the coin.If you are ok with scraping the coin on a testing stone, there is an acid test kit you can get to be sure it's silver.Another trick I've found is to put your coin, and another coin that you know is silver, under a sheet of tissue paper. If both coins "shine through" the tissue equally, then your coin is likely silver. If yours seems dull or dark next to the silver one, then it is likely NOT silver.DanUser:WorkingMan
