westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7620 Posts	Posted 09/05/2015 4:08 pm I know you could bid on the first round of auctions that were held. I believe for the 78-CC it was 15$ minimum on the first go around. The 82, 83 and 84 CC's was a 30$ minimum on the first go around. 80, 81, 85, 90 and 91 all had 60$ minimums and the 79 was a 300$ minimum. (It has been a long time ago and this is pressing my memory.) If you didn't "win" they'd send you a refund check. Some of the subsequent sales were fixed price. There was also the mixed uncirculated at 5$ (hard pack) and the mixed circulated (soft pack) at 3$. I remember opening boxes and being bummed out cause all I was getting was 78-CC's! I thought I was doing good when I'd get an 82, 83 or 84! I had to buy my 90 and 91 on the aftermarket. I couldn't afford the 79 ...even on the after market. It was fun though!

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7620 Posts	Posted 09/05/2015 4:17 pm Before the first GSA CC sale they (the GSA) promoted the coins with displays of Carson City Dollars in plastic holders shaped like the state of Nevada. The ones I remember were white. They were displayed in bank lobbies and were displayed along with sales brochures and bid forms. It's been a long,long time ago! Report this Post to the Staff
