Buddies dad has Mint Morgan dollars from those years. They are in complete mint condition in casings. Never been circulated in complete perfect condition. Anyone know how much these are worth? Edit: Nevermind they are completely Mint I just got another good look at them. They are Uncirculated though I am taking pictures at the moment. Just hard cause they are in Hard plastic casing, and not the easiest to get pictures of lol. But they will be up in a minute. Edited by Teuk

Hi Teuk, These are known as GSA dollars, auctioned off by the General Services Administration back in the early 1970's. They were almost all Carson City mint coins (as these are) and are indeed uncirculated. I'd say the 1883 and 1884 coins would grade MS-63 and the 1882 (which has a scuffier cheek) would be about MS-61. It almost doesn't matter since the values are pretty flat until you get above MS-64. These three dates are the most common CC Morgans (too bad there wasn't an 1889-CC in the group!). You could probably sell them to a dealer pretty easily for $150-$175. You might get $200 each or a bit more if they were offered on ebay. These are great coins, but I wouldn't expect their value to go up very quickly. There are literally tens of thousands of each of these GSA dates sitting in collections and dealer inventories. |

I'd say MS-63 for the first one, MS-61/62 for the second, 63 for the third. All look prooflike, especially the third one.

Hello TEUK, THESE ARE SOME OF THE SWEETEST MORGANS I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE, I just wanted to thank-you for the 'view'. Also, the 1884-cc, as I see it is obviously a VAM, and I believe , without a closer view, it is a VAM 4.( NOT SURE) CHECK OUT VAMWORLD.COM,search the home page on the left for "morgan by date" and click on the year of your coin and the mint in question and check out the KNOWN VAMS for that coin. It is hard from a photo to "tell all", thought you might want to know, be well, MORGANS DAD... |

Hello TEUK, I believe I made a boo bo, the 1884-cc is probably a VAM 2. "SOME SPECIMENS SHOW A DIE BREAK THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE DATE DIGITS". SO SORRY, MORGANS DAD... |

Just my opinion, I believe these are all MS-64 AND BETTER MORGANS. I see the scuff or bag marks but the frosty white , original virginous luster and eye appeal, takes these to another level, a level above ms-63, I believe all to be 64 and better. just my opinion, be well MORGANS DAD... PS: I COULD NOT RESIST. AFTER ANOTHER LOOK I HAD TO WRITE AGAIN....

those years are the most common of the GSA Morgans and even in MS-64 (which I don't think either of these coins would grade that high) they are only worth a couple hundred dollars. Tell him to always leave them in those GSA cases because people everyday crack them out (whether they are submitted to PCGS for grading or just for some other reason) and the ones that are left in the GSA cases will be worth more than the ones cracked out (in my opinion anyway)
