GSA Morgan CC question

ACactions

Is there a reference source or can some one provide the following information for me:

What percentage of the original mintage of each CC morgan was sold in the GSA liquidation?

Someone knows the answer to this question or has a source for me

Check your VAM book.

It's a good question and I haven't got a clue. And I suspect the regulars don't either or they'd have offered plenty of responses by now. But keep the topic current. Someone must know.

I found the answer- To a degree that is satisfactory for me. I am sure there are much more specific numbers out there but I found working numbers to help me out...

Old notes that I've had over 30 plus years. Just a list I put together and I really did not have a source that I
can recall. Perhaps Breen and some others. I also did the non CC's at the same time.

A little update on the 1893 % Bob.

As I recall, the VAM book lists the coins sold in the GSA auctions.

Bowers, in his Silver Dollar Encyclopedia, lists the coins sold in the GSA auctions. You might check his Silver Dollar Redbook to see if the information is in there, too.
