The GSA Morgan Dollar coin has been a widely popular collector’s item ever since the discovery of the so-called “GSA Hoard of Morgans” in the Sixties, a supply of coins so vast that it permanently altered the collector’s market. These coins have been popular ever since, so much so that divergent schools of thought have even arisen about how best to package them. Some dealers prefer to use the original government packaging, while others — including the team at Provident Metals — prefer to rely on lightweight shipping in a simple but secure plastic slab that gives clients a chance to make their own decisions about display. The 1882-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is now available from Provident Metals.

History

The story of the GSA Morgan silver dollar coin began with a rush on Morgan Silver Dollars in the early Sixties. Acting mostly as backing for silver certificates, these coins had lain undisturbed in federal Treasury vaults for generations until a craze for the silver dollar began in 1958, reaching a fever pitch around 1964. This was when uncirculated coins with rare and valuable dates, some still in their original mint bags, were discovered in an annual distribution. It led to a further craze for this coinage among collectors and investors, which ultimately led to the discovery of three million General Services Administration-issued Morgan Silver Dollars: the GSA Hoard of Morgans, coins mostly struck at the Carson City Mint. The supply would permanently change the face of coin collecting.
