GSA Hoard guys; Are there records as to how many coins were put into each category?

IE How many 1884-CC's were put into the UNCIRCULATED category and given Serial #'ered cards? Records show there were 962k total 1884-CC's in the hoard, but nothing I can find specifies how many were considered UNCIRCULATED.

Just asking because I have an '84 Card numbered 897924 and that's the highest I've seen yet.

FTB: I've been looking for such records but I don't think the GSA kept records that counted the "Uncirculated" vs not "Uncirculated" hard packs.

Highest 1884 card I happen to have right now is: 953639

I am looking for an 1882-CC card below 500 if anyone has one!

All the GSA records for the silver dollar sales are in NARA, College Park, Md. Just be sure to take eye drops -- there are thousands of pages.

97 minute drive. You down for a road trip Rog?

3000+ miles by air for me, otherwise I'd go.

I go to NARA frequently for research. Would be glad to meet anyone there and show them where the records are, etc. If you've never been there before, you have to take a training course, pass a quick background check and get you research card before entering the research area.

At present NARA is closed due to the government funding mess.

If you plan to photograph or scan them all, better make a "week or two" of it.

Just let me know and I can meet you there and help you get started.

All I have ever seen is the total number under each date and MM.

I forgot to add, some of the coins that were considered problem coins were toned. So not sure if someone in GSA would really be quaified to determine if a coin is uncirculated or not. The assumption is they are all uncirculated, correct?

No, not correct. Yes toned coins were put in the "mixed" category. But, so were problem coins that were damaged or had issues. Most were UNC's but certainly not all.

Not all but most. The designation was really separating into five categories. CC Uncirc, CC circ, CC uncirc w/ issues, other mint Uncirc, other mint circ and/or issues.

That's from memory and could be wrong, but it's pretty close.

I don't recall seeing an AU coin in the hard plastic. Plenty in the soft plastic. I have had "damaged" in hard plastic holders.

Ahhh, you've forgotten the 1893-CC hard pack that was "discovered" last year already. It's not AU (true), but an XF coin.

No records that I ever saw (or looked for) but certainly in the millions. Not rare by any stretch......if that's what your asking

TONEDDOLLARS · January 6, 2019 4:10PM
