1890-CC Unc MS-61 GSA Hoard

If it was certified in the original holder, it might be graded by NGC.

I only see one 1890-CC Morgan in a GSA holder certified on ebay for sale currently.

I can't wait to see the pics of this coin

For a small annual fee, you can join NGC's website (coin guide). Since GSA's are mostly graded by NGC, you can get all the price information you want there.

The value of your coin is in the neighborhood of $500. It is not worth $4000. It is not a rare coin. It is a semi-key date that will be easy to sell.

@Hambone: You misunderstood me. I didn't say thr value was $4000. I simply stated that list value for a MS-61 as said by Numismedia was $4000. Because you had originally stated that ot was MS-61 and had not mentioned NGC or PCGS I assumed it was uncertified and since MS-61 is at the bottom of the MS Scale I didn't really question what is probably a very reasonable grade and below average for 1890-CC GSA's.

The real value of a coin isn't what any certifying company or expert thinks but actually what a buyer is wolling to pay. If you could find a buyer who's willing to pay $4000 then I guess your coin was worth $4000 to them.

Super Dave is correct in his price estimate of around $2K, if, it's in the GSA box with certificate and certified. If not, then lower price. I forgot about the GSA premium. Sorry...

Grading this coin won't help add value in this case. The value in a 90-CC in a GSA holder is THAT it's still even in the GSA holder! Many, many coins were busted out of their plastic during the slabbing insanity of the 1980's.

Of the 4000 90-CC's that were sent out, I'd bet that less than half are still in their GSA plastic.

An original 90 or 91 CC in the original plastic and box with the original serial numbered card is expensive. Worth multiple times what a non GSA holdered coin is.

This is one case where original "everything" counts big time! Don't mess with it, enjoy it as it was meant to be seen!

I am simply going to say, follow what superdave said.
