Your Opinion on toughest GSA Dollar in High Grade to Locate

7over8

All -

Since I am new to this forum, I am taking my first crack at starting a new topic.

I have been acquiring GSA CC dollars over the past 20 years and have an opinion about the toughest dates to locate in high grade.

I would like to hear the opinion of the forum.....

My choices are the 79CC GSA (Cap Die) in any grade, 78-CC GSA in 65 or higher, and those 90-CC's have always eluded me in any grade.......

Nice coins, I love to see nice dmpl gsa's!!!

I do own one of the four 78CC GSA's in NGC 65PL.......

Excluding PL's and DMPL's, based on numbers of coins in high grade in my collection, I'd have to list the 91-CC first, the 90-CC a close second......and it would be a close race for third between the 79-CC Capped Die and the 80CC/rev 78.

I've got a capped die that will grade MS66, and and 80CC/rev78 that I believe would grade MS67. They're both head and shoulders above any other examples I've ever seen.

Thinking about this a little more, GSA GUY is absolutely right on when he mentions the 80CCr78. A very tough coin in 65 and above. In fact, I found a 80CCr78 in 65 before I could locate a 80CC in 65.

As for the 90CC, when these were routinely trading in the $200 range (a number of years ago), I was never offered more than 5 coins over a 5-8 year period. Even at that, the highest grade I've seen is a 63. I bought my 63 from a well known Maryland Dealer.

As for the common dates, my sad story is - I remember passing on nice 64 and 65 common CC's at $40-$45 per 10+ years ago.....!!!!!!!!!! Cherrypicking all the nice coins from lots of 50+ all with boxes and cards / fresh coins. But I bought every 78-CC I could, in the $65-$70 range. Yes, some of them were baggies, but a good buy....

I would think the 1889 CC would be tough since there is only one in any grade.
