Do you think the mint or GSA has any old...

Do you ever wonder or think if there is a hoard of seated half dollars or proofs of different years prior to 1933 sitting in a box in the corner or on top of a shelf somewhere in the mint? It would be cool if a large box of pre 1900 proofs of all denominations showed up. A nice sell of the loot would be cool. The killer tonning would be a plus. Do you think there is any fair amounts of unc coins laying around the mint somewhere?

The Seated Half series ended in 1891.
What's with the 1933 date?

Does anyone believe there's much left anywhere? Or did they clean most of that out in the 80's?
I would think somewhere, in some treasury vault, in some obscure town, there's some gems sitting around
waiting to be found

As for the GSA sales – they consisted of silver dollars. The prices were consistent with market for the time, only you didn’t know what quality you were going to get. It was hardly a “get-rich-quick-scheme” for anyone. It was a much better approach than releasing bags of CC dollars to speculators at face value.
