One of my local dealers was selling those toned GSA Morgans at AU prices since GSA had "graded" them as such The soft packs are the same way. They just did not like toned coins back then. One of my other ones like this was sent in and graded MS 63. I like the toning on this one. I think it would also grade MS 63. Edited by GR58

Thanks ...
The box is one I picked up. I am always looking for storage boxes to
put the odd coins into. The ones that don't fit into albums or normal 2X2
or slabs.
I think this box should hold 12 boxed GSA's. Right now I have 6 boxed
and 2 soft packs.
2 Soft packs are 1878 CC
Boxed
2 - 1882 CC
1 - 1883 CC
2 - 1884 CC
1 - 1885 CC

I noticed your 1882 CC GSA came with 2 pieces of paper. One(the bigger one) is a COA, what is the other piece and are all GSA dollars supposed to have both? I only ask because my 1883 CC GSA came with a COA only. Thanks...Mont. BTW very nice collection  |

If you have the GSA Uncirculated Carson city Morgan, like these  These only came with one piece of paper/COA like these.  Notice the upper right of the paper, it has a number in blue. For these GSA's, that number should start with the year of the coin. |

For the GSA coin I posted at the start of this thread. (Notice it does not say Uncirculated on the slab/holder  This category comes with the two papers. (There is no blue number on these)   |

Wow thanks for the info. I will remember to look at 1st 2 numbers now when I look to buy another one.
So it is still uncirculated, just the person separating them didn't like the way it looked. A little "pre-grading" on their part so to speak.
didn't know the soft packs were circulated either. Thanks for that as well.

The two that I have graded, are one from each category "GSA Uncirculated" and "GSA silver dollar"   If you look behind the first coin you can see the COA with blue numbers. For this one that is the wrong paper. I need to remember to find a correct one and replace it. It was like that when I bought it. I am not sure if someone was trying to fool a potential ... or just didn't know. |

For the soft packs, I have seen many of them graded in MS grade holders. I have been told they really did not like any toning. So they just culled them out. I had three of these 1878 CC's. Gave one to my daughter and son-in-law. Of the two I have left I am sure they are both lower grade MS. One is a VAM 11. ------------------------- Here is a list of the GSA holdings.  Total GSA holdings of Carson City dollars - 2,909,715. (There were also non Carson city dollars sold in the same sales. Also interesting, only one each 1889 CC, 1892 CC and 1893 CC I find it interesting that just over 84% of all 1884 CC minted Morgan's were in the GSA holdings. But .. where I was going with this .. can you imagine the group that would have taken on the task of sorting 2.9 million Carson City dollars. It might have been a easy way out to pull all the toned ones out. There were some that were listed as unsalable Edited by GR58

Hmm I think mine might be wrong as well. Mine doesn't show the word "Uncirculated" on it. I Figured NGC covered it up with their sticker. But I see on yours they didn't. Makes me wonder.

I have never understood why some people do things like that, gluing the paper to the lid. Thanks for the offer, but for these I try to get them in good shape. A couple of mine had boxes in poor shape. I would start watching ebay and buy better boxes ... need to do that for my 1883 CC papers, might have to buy them with a box. |
