What is the most spectacular Morgan you've seen in a GSA holder?

For me it was a 79-CC, probably a MS65.
Collecting since 1976.

    Maybe fifteen years ago, there was a Superb Gem 85-cc GSA that was absolutely stunning. Perhaps a 68 by today's standards.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    One of the nicest I own in a Gsa holder. Does that count?

    Didn't the Govt. weed out the "ugly" toners (probably for eventual dipping by someone back then) as white coins were the craze? or would the toning have occurred while inside the GSA slab? There were different styles of GSA slabs throughout the years of their releases. Maybe some earlier or later had a different median material inside slab that would tone different from others?

    Toned CCs were put in a special holder and sold cheaper. Just think stman, you paid a whole month's salary for a $5 coin!
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Maybe not the nicest but certainly the coolest: I just saw a non-CC GSA that was a strict 64+ DMPL.

    Yes, most of the toned CC coins did NOT say uncirculated on the GSA holder like the white coins did, as the idiots at the GSA must have incorrectly thought these were circulated or defective coins.

    dragon don't be so rough on them. They actually discussed dipping them but decided against it.

    The best I've seen belong to GSAGuy. He had several in his case at the last Long Beach show: white ones, rainbows, textile, everything and all superb.

    The best GSA's I've seen were, as a whole, the ones I saw in the 70's before everyone started cracking out the best of them.....I still have a dozen I bought in 1972/73 and they are for the most part, far better technically and appearance-wise than 99% of what I see offered on ebay and most other sales forums today. How many MS65 PL's are still in GSA holder after 30+ years....????
