Total Number of US Coins Ever Minted in Carson City = 56,564,299#N#Only about 56 million coins were minted in Carson City and that only includes the official US currencies outside of assay office minting. These figures come from adding up all of the mintages in our database from this particular mint, which does not include the coins that had "N/A" or unknown mint. So the number above is conservative and the total number of coins ever minted in Carson City throughout the entire history of the United States of America is at least this much!
The Carson City US Mint is one of the lesser known mints because of its short history in the late 1800s. This mint was based in Nevada and was build during the height of the silver boom.

The style of the building was of the Renaissance Revival and is made out of stone.

Almost everything you learned about Carson City half eagles and eagles can be forgotten when it comes to their big brother the double eagle. This is the only gold denomination from this mint which comes in two distinct types, so the by-decade divisions we made for half eagles and eagles (see above) aren’t applicable for double eagles. Two more things: there is a “stopper” which will deter most collectors from completing a set (the 1870-CC) and many dates don’t come in grades below VF30 to EF40, meaning that there is less by-grade difference between a collector-grade and a high grade set.
HALF EAGLES. Half eagles were made at the Carson City mint from 1870 through 1884 and again from 1890 through the closing of this facility in 1893. These can be neatly divided into three categories: 1870’s dates: These are mostly scarce to very scarce in all grades and very rare to extremely rare in higher grades.
