GSA CERTIFIED NON-CC Morgan Silver Dollars - GSA HOARD

A 1964 United States Treasury audit revealed the existance of millions of Silver Dollar coins languishing in obscurity inside U.S. Treasury vaults for decades. They were finally dispersed by the GSA - General Services Administration in a series of eight sales beginning in 1972 and two additional sales in 1980 known as the "GSA HOARD SALES". Sales were limited to citizens of the United States.

The first task for government employees was to sort the coins. The vast majority, 2,825,219 coins were Morgan type, minted with unique CC mint mark from the U.S. Mint branch at Carson City, Nevada.

An additional 112,145 coins were discoverd during the sorting process. There were 84,165 circulated and 27,980 uncirculated coins minted between 1859 and 1935. Various mint marks from U.S Mint branches included: Phildelphia Mint, New Orleans Mint, San Francisco Mint, Carson City Mint and Denver Mint. Various design types included: Seated Liberty, Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. GSA HOARD SALE 3 -The Coins Jesse James Never Got- offered these coins exclusively. Today, GSA collectors refer to this category type as GSA NON-CARSON CITY or GSA NON-CC's.

The 27,980 NON-CC uncirculated silver dollars were Morgan type minted between 1878 and 1904. Mint marks were exclusively from U.S Mint branches: P-Phildelphia Mint, O-New Orleans Mint and S-San Francisco Mint. Each coin was sonic sealed inside five and three-eigth inch high by three and three-eigth inch wide unique air-tight clear hard plastic government issue holder. The same holder design used for the Carson City GSA. Silver colored foil lettering inscribed UNITED STATES above the coin along with UNCIRCULATED and SILVER DOLLAR below the coin. GSA information card was included. The GSA black presentation box was NOT issued with the NON-CC. The GSA black box was exclusive to the Carson City GSA.

The GSA never issued an official list of NON-CC dates sold. GSA NON-CARSON CITY collectors have reported twenty-eight dates listed below. Additional information with images can be found at: www.NoGreatLoss.ge
