If you have any US coin dated 1845 with a Carson City mint mark it's a counterfeit coin. The Carson City Mint was built in 1869 and first year of operation is 1870
Philadelphia, because it was the first mint they never really needed a mint mark to differentiate themselves from any other mint, so when the other mints were built, they just kept it the same.

the "CC" means Carson City mint
The Carson City Mint was built to facilitate the coining of silver from the Comstock Lode, a large deposit of silver ore. After a peak in about 1877, the Comstock Lode rapidly saw declining production as most of the silver was already mined away, by 1893 when the Carson City Mint closed in 1893, most of the silver from the Comstock Lode was already gone, thus it didn't make much sense to keep the Carson City Mint open (the San Francisco Mint provided the coinage for most of the west and the Philadelphia mint provided the coinage for the eastern half of the country) so the Carson City Mint was closed and thus production of dollar coins there stopped.
