General Notes: The 1883-CC GSA Morgan dollar is among the most common of GSA Hoard coins, with 755,518 released in the legendary sale out of a total mintage of 1,204,000. These examples include circulated and uncirculated coins as well as examples in hard packs or soft packs. While all GSA dollars are considered scarce and desirable as a category, there is extra consideration given by collectors to pieces that are still in their original GSA packaging. Even the major grading firms such as PCGS and NGC will grade these coins intact in their original government packaging. PL and DMPL examples in GSA packaging are desirable. NGC ID: 254H
