For those of you who have bought unmarked, unopened GSA dollars from me in the past, I thought you'd enjoy seeing this one....especially his asking price.

Don't know how to do the linky thing, but the ebay number is 805457459.

All that money, and only SIX pictures of the box.

mbbiker · December 12, 2002 3:12AM

do you think it's really unopened? The box looks to nice to be the origianal but i could be wrong becasue this is the first unopened GSA coin.

mr1931S · December 12, 2002 3:17AM

my understanding is that a few highly collectible Barbie dolls ended up getting sent out in those GSA sales...

AbesNeighbor · December 12, 2002 3:28AM

What are GSA Dollars?

relayer · December 12, 2002 3:29AM

OK, anybody who pays $1.00 for the supersize picture pack only to show 6 shots of a box is an idiot.

<< <i>What are GSA Dollars? >>

General Services Administration auctioned off a boatload of Morgans that had been stashed in the vaults for something like 80 years. GSAGUY is the expert on that and can fill in some details.

Thank you...... If they all look like your walkers there....then I'd take a few!

I guess I just don't get it.

GSA sales figures:

1880-CC 131,529
1881-CC 147,485
1882-CC 605,029
1883-CC 755,518
1884-CC 962,638
1885-CC 148,285

AbesNeighbor · December 12, 2002 3:46AM

Were those sales in addition to original distribution? If that were the case someone may have thought they had a rare item and all of a sudden .......

mr1931S · December 12, 2002 3:56AM

sooooooooo...if i spend the $400 for the unopened box...and then open the box to see what i have...gee,it's not an unopened box anymore...

my understanding is that at leasted one high grade Seated dollar was sent out by GSA...

maybe this box has one too...but gee,i have to open the box to find out...

$200 BIN is more like it...

abuell · December 12, 2002 4:58AM

My guess is that the box contains a CD.

MadMarty · December 12, 2002 5:02AM

It will contain a 1884-CC, like every one I have bought (hey GSA Guy, got any more!!!).

BigD5 · December 12, 2002 5:07AM

If I was that seller, I'd contact that buyer who threw a bid in at $400, and pounce!!
Some may find these items intriguing, they're worth $100 of intrigue to me. That's me though.
The gambling types may be willing to go a bit further with their money.
I wonder what the odds are to make a decent score with one of these?

There are six sides, you know! LOL

CLASSICS · December 12, 2002 7:42AM

so............someone buys this item, gets it home and opens it, finds out it is nothing special,or anything at all........ over paid for it, and now cant return it because its been opened....hummmmmmm, sounds like the old t.v. show lets make a deal........you know, where you trade in your money, and find out you just won a a bag of dead flys

gsaguy · December 12, 2002 7:43AM

MadMarty...yep, I've got more.....wanna play?

Mr1874....I've not heard about any high grade Seated Liberty dollars, but I did hear about a single circulated piece.....which is pictured below. It was sold in the $3.00 category!

Gilbert · December 12, 2002 8:08AM

My goodness $650 BIN. What does he think WE think is going to be in there? Surely not the one each 1889, 1892, 1893.

Has anyone ever researched the number of GSA CC dollars known versus the number slabbed for the GSA sales? In other words, have the three coins I mentioned, for example, been accounted for

gsaguy · December 12, 2002 8:25AM

Gilbert,

Of the three dates that you mentioned, "one each of the 1889-CC, 1892-CC, and 1893-CC", I believe that 2 of the 3 dates have been accounted for in GSA holders.

I've seen photos of one and have examined the other.

mr1931S · December 12, 2002 4:43PM

gsaguy,i read about a Seated dollar being sent out by GSA in the "CC" holder...i read this some time long ago and have since forgotten the details...as i recall,the lucky finder of the Seated dollar in the GSA holder described it as being very lustrous,close to uncirculated...i should have saved the story...if this story is true,the owner of the GSA encapsulated Seated dollar hopefully had the good sense to leave it in its holder...

$400 buys one KNOWN TO BE REALLY NICE high-grade GSA dollar in a presentation box?

MacCoin · December 12, 2002 8:44PM

I go to the track to do my gambleing.

gsaguy · December 13, 2002 2:49AM

Mr1874,

The GSA Seated Liberty that I pictured is, of course, in one of the GSA softpacks.

I've never heard any stories of a SL $ in a CC hardpack but then, nothing would surprise me. I've got an 1890-S and an 1884-P both in GSA CC hardpacks!

If you find the story, I'd love a copy of it. I'd gladly include the story in my book.

Thanks!

GSAGUY
