Carson City coin collectors have many options available to them when deciding what coins to include in their sets. The shortest set would comprise two coins, consisting of the 1875-CC and 1876-CC twenty-cent pieces. Though small in size, this set would be very expensive, thanks to the $125,000 starting price for the extremely rare 1876-CC date. From this two-coin set, the choices keep expanding until we reach the ultimate goal, which only two collectors in history have ever achieved.
