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!

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!
Rest in Peace

Thanks for the history IndianGoldEagle & westernsky, unfortunately this was a couple of years before my first Morgan purchase. I would have loved to have been bidding on these back in the day...
