GSA Morgan Dollar

[CHABSENTIA]

I made the plunge . I did a lot of work and the bidding is ridiculous on E Bay as well as the Buy it now. Some of there people bid more on the auctions then the Buy it now which is just down the line. I went all over the Internet and spent a lot of time but finally found a 1882 CC GSA MS64 PL NGC. I checked the certification and it was valid and NGC/Numismedia lists it for $420. I paid $279.00 plus $10.00 for shipping so didnt do too bad.

you did well for this coin in my opinion

 

you would have paid lots more in an auction with the same coin and two/three determined bidders

Great buy at $279!

I thought so. You really have to look around. I did a google on GSA dollars and then on the 1882 cc etc. Sometimes a dealer comes up and sometimes it is a history of the GSA dollar. I spent several hours. I was even bidding for an MS64 1882 CC GSA Dollar on Ebay. I had put in a maximum bid at $223.99 and nobody had bid above me and it stayed that way . Then I found the one on the Internet at a dealer by the name of Long Island Rare coins. I checked the certification etc and saw that Numismedia priced it at $420.00. Then I kept hoping that somebody would outbid me on Ebay and finally in the last half hour it happened. I saw 1882 CC GSA NGC at MS63 PL going for between $275.00 and $300.00 on Ebay at the least and more. I cant find any 1883 CC or 1884 CC GSA dollars on Ebay in that range and only one PL that is certified although there are a few non certified GSAs there.
