"I had a few Carson City Morgan dollars and some vintage casino tokens from my family's time in Reno. I needed a buyer who truly understood their unique value. American Rarities was fantastic! Their appraisal was fair, the process was incredibly professional, and I received payment quickly. I'm thrilled I chose them to sell my Nevada numismatic items!"
Nevada's identity as the "Silver State" is deeply rooted in its dramatic mining booms, which, combined with the presence of a federal mint and its unique gaming industry, create a profoundly rich and distinctive numismatic landscape:
A cornerstone of American numismatics, the U.S. Mint at Carson City (identified by the highly sought-after "CC" mint mark) operated for a brief but impactful period. It produced gold coins (e.g., $5, $10, $20) and silver coins (e.g., dimes, quarters, half dollars, and especially Morgan Silver Dollars). Carson City Mint coins are renowned for their low mintages, rarity, and romantic association with the Old West. The very short-lived 20-cent piece was also struck here, with the 1876-CC being an extreme rarity. If you have Carson City Mint coins to sell, our expert coin buyers are ready to appraise them for their numismatic rarity and historical significance.
The discovery of the Comstock Lode in 1859 ignited massive silver and gold rushes, transforming Nevada into a powerhouse of precious metal production. Mines in Virginia City, Tonopah, Goldfield, and Eureka yielded immense wealth, leading to the circulation of raw gold and silver specimens and a demand for coinage. If you are looking for a gold buyer or silver buyer for raw Nevada precious metals, we are interested.
Unique to Nevada's gaming history, casinos traditionally used U.S. silver dollars at gaming tables. When silver dollars began selling at a premium in 1964, Nevada casinos were permitted to issue their own private metal tokens for slot machines and gaming. These vintage casino tokens and chips are highly collectible and represent a fascinating aspect of Nevada's economic and social history, often sought after by specialized collectors.
During the National Banking Era (1863-1935), banks across Nevada issued their own distinctive National Bank Notes. These notes, bearing the names of local Nevada towns and banks (e.g., "The First National Bank of Reno" or "Ely National Bank"), are highly sought-after by paper money buyers for their historical significance and local appeal.
In its early days, Nevada's isolated frontier economy relied on a mix of early U.S. coins (often silver dollars and gold coins), gold dust, and sometimes even foreign coins from trade routes.
Nevada boasts an active community of coin collectors and numerous local coin clubs that foster interest in numismatics and preserve the state's monetary history.
