At the ANA show, a friend of mine managed to find and buy an original set of cancelled CC Morgan dollar dies. He later arranged to go to Dan Carr's Moonlight Mint to have a bunch of Morgan dollars overstruck with these dies. Therefore, between the CC mint, Moonlight Mint, and the mint the overstruck coins were originally struck at (Dan can confirm no CC coins were harmed), we have three mints involved. Four if you count Philadelphia, where these dies were made.

Nice set of cancelled dies....How do people find these items? I did read where your friend got them, but how did they get out of the CC Mint to begin with? I thought they were buried or destroyed further. Cheers, RickO
