us coins March 30th, 2008
A 1964 United States Treasury audit revealed the existance of millions of Silver Dollar coins languishing in obscurity inside U.S. Treasury vaults for decades. They were finally dispersed by the GSA - General Services Administration in a series of eight sales beginning in 1972 and two additional sales in 1980 known as the “GSA HOARD SALES”. Sales were limited to citizens of the United States.
The first task for government employees was to sort the coins. The vast majority, 2,825,219 coins were Morgan type, minted with unique CC mint mark from the U.S. Mint branch at Carson City, Nevada.
An additional 112,145 coins were discoverd during the sorting process. There were 84,165 circulated and 27,980 uncirculated coins minted between 1859 and 1935. Various mint marks from U.S Mint branches included: Phildelphia Mint, New Orleans Mint, San Francisco Mint, Carson City Mint and Denver Mint. Various design types included: Seated Liberty, Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. GSA HOARD SALE 3 -The Coins Jesse James Never Got- offered these coins exclusively. Today, GSA collectors refer to this category type as GSA NON-CARSON CITY, GSA NON-CC’s or GSA BLUE PACKS.
The 84,165 circulated silver dollars were various types included: Seated Liberty, Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. Mint marks from U.S Mint branches included: P-Phildelphia Mint, O-New Orleans Mint, S-San Francisco Mint, CC-Carson City Mint and D-Denver Mint. The dates ranged from 1859 thru 1935.
This GSA Blue Pack circulated silver dollar category had unique GSA packing. The silver dollars were incased inside soft plastic Mylar display packet with a GSA token. The packet was inserted inside a unique GSA Blue Envelope with two GSA historic cards. More information at: www.GFL.com
