Another GSA

well, earlier this month I picked up an '83 GSA on eBay from a local seller pics of which I posted on here in another thread. This morning I just picked up my second one (an '82 GSA) from a dealer here in town who had it listed on eBay. Now, where are the other dates?? image I think I may have a GSA-addiction!! image

  • 82-84 CC are the "relatively" easy ones. Others that are tougher (costlier) are 80 and 81-CC, the 80 over 79 reverse of 78 CC, and the 85-CC. Really pricey ones are the 90 and 91-CC...and the granddaddy is the 79-CC (at $3000+). There are other non CC ones as well.

    Do an ebay search for GSA in the dollar section...and you can also go to carsoncityking.com

    And GSAGuy here on the boards is the true expert.

    "Now, where are the other dates??"

    My house, I have 1880-85 CC, although GSAGUY has something in the neighborhood of 42 different GSA issues (obviously not all CC Morgans).

  • Oops...forgot the 78-CC...about the same price as the 80/81/85-CCs

    I've got all the Carsons except the "big 3"...79/90/91

    Do NOT forget 1889-CC. image '92-CC or '93-CC, that is, if you are looking to complete a CC set.

    Only one 1889-CC was sold in the GSA sale; it was included in the "mixed" category with toned, baggy and otherwise unattractive stuff. Where it went was purely a function of random and very massive luck.

    A dealer friend told me it was brought into a coin shop at least a few years ago, instantly traded hands several times, and was sold to a high-end GSA collector for $30,000.

    That actually sounds plausible to me.
    When in doubt, don't.

    According to the VAM Book, there were only '92 and '93 sold also.

    Yes the GSA only had one of those three dates as dennis says the 89's location is known but the other two dates have never shown up again in their GSA holders. I hope their owners didn't break them out and have them slabbed because they are worth MUCH more in the GSA holders no matter what the grade.
