Carson City GSA Hoard Morgans

[Guest Golddog3]

I've heard many comments that the Carson City GSA Hoard Morgans are overpriced and may be over-graded by NGC and PCGS. These dollars seem to keep their premium, however. What do you think about collecting these in MS and slabbed?

My opinion is that, in general, CC dollars tend to be graded more liberally than those from other mints. Their popularity is indesputable, however.

 

Collect them if you like them, but don't count on them as investments. I would suggest the same about any other types of coins, as well.

Personally, I like the CC's whether they have the GSA provenance or not. One of the reasons the grading services tend to be a little lenient in grading them is because so many never saw the light of day. They were bagged and stored in vaults for 60-80 years. Some of the nicks & dings came when the bags were moved around.

You can always collect them like this.

I like the GSA CC coins and like them in the original case, certs, and box!

I wouldn't be able to afford them, but it sure would be fun to go through them.

If you went through them then they wouldn't be like that any more.

Yours or is that a picture from Bryan's former collection?

That would be Bryans. It was posted by Oreville ATS and I found it for Bryan a couple years ago. Mine would be significantly smaller.

Collecting shipping boxes........is that a new offshoot of numismatic exonumia?

 

Buy the box, not the coin!

My question is HOW to determine which one is actually the Original Packaging sent by the G.

I see all kinds of White Boxes sealed that are for sale, but have no indication that they came with a shipping label on them, on Fleabay

I also would Assume that the Blue Boxes with Light Blue Tape are the Original Packages. I noticed in the photo even some of the White Flat boxes have what appears to be a government logo and correct shipping label

MKman,

Can you tell me where to get one in the original case, cert & box?

Regards... Jim

[Guest Golddog3]

I wouldn't be able to keep them in the boxs, they would be a nice collection within the bigger Morgan collection, however.

Thanks Jim

At a smaller auction. We get them from time to time, but they tend to sell very strongly.

 

Ditto proof sets, incidentally.

James,

Can you Please describe Very Strongly? Also, Is it "possible" that color of box/wrapper determine higher grade/rarity/P/PL?

I would be very interested in one of these. If you come across one Please email me @ J3_Dog@yahoo.com

 

Thanks So Much.... Jim

Jim,

 

A couple threads from ATS. One started by mentioned Bryan (and containing the original pic of his hoard). I haven't seen him sell one for about a year and half (juneish of 2011 or so), unless he has been doing it on Ebay.
