I accept that GSAs saying Uncirculated may not have been. The hard plastic holders would say "Circulated" or "Uncirculated." Did the 1893 cc holder say Circulated or Uncirculated? If you know. I'm guessing it said Circulated.
My guess is that it silver dollar under the NGC band. The only ones I have seen either read Uncirculated Silver Dollar or just Silver Dollar. The latter were referred to as culls back in the day.
But that is not one of the Uncirculated boxes - that's a circulated box. Like this one - https://americanheritagebullion.com...MI6duujqCx3wIVBECGCh0e5AVdEAQYBCABEgIF5PD_BwE
Assuming you mean the coin in the link I posted, it very well may be unc. You have to remember what I said in my first post - the people who separated the coins - did not know what they doing ! The could not tell unc from circ with any degree of accuracy. The result being that there were unc coins in the circ boxes, unc coins in the circ envelopes, and circ coins in the unc boxes.
I was looking at this at church this morning.... Hey, God loves coin lovers.... I had never seen a circulated coin from the GSA hoard before. But I had to pull mine out of the safe to see what was bothering me about this holder. I see now it is the placement of the TPG sticker. That sticker is placed directly over where mine say, “Uncirculated Silver Dollar”. I suppose the TPG’s are limited in where they can place that sticker. Is that their routine placement?
Yeah that's the routine placement. But here's the thing Randy. The NGC sticker does not cover up the word Uncirculated - when Uncirculated is on the plastic box. Uncirculated remains visible. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgur...7jfAhVwuVkKHeSzDCIQMwhDKAYwBg&iact=mrc&uact=8 But the sticker does cover up the words Silver Dollar on the boxes that do not have the word Uncirculated on them. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgur...jfAhVwuVkKHeSzDCIQMwiNAShDMEM&iact=mrc&uact=8 So if you cannot see the word on the one you have, that's because it isn't there, not because the sticker is covering up. You can also readily see the difference between the boxes when neither has the sticker by looking at the distance between the the words and the coin itself. To see what I mean look at these again. https://americanheritagebullion.com...MI6duujqCx3wIVBECGCh0e5AVdEAQYBCABEgIF5PD_BwE Look at the distance between the words Silver Dollar and the coin, and the words and the bottom of the black. Now look at this one and do the same thing. https://americanheritagebullion.com...MI6duujqCx3wIVBECGCh0e5AVdEAQYBSABEgLr9_D_BwE What I'm trying to point out is that the words Silver Dollar are always in the same place on both types of boxes. But on the boxes that have the word Uncirculated on them, that word is always above, higher on the plastic and closer to the coin, than the words Silver Dollar. Point being, that even with the sticker there, you can always tell them apart and know which kind of box you actually have.
Years ago when the GSA first put them out I tried like anything to win one of the silver dollars, didn't but I purchase a morgan every once in a while.
No, the hard packs come in three text varieties, Carson City Uncirculated Silver Dollar, Carson City Silver Dollar, and Uncirculated Silver Dollar. Then all the OBVIOUSLY circulated coins were to go in the soft packs. True, but for some reason most of the Uncirculated 1878 CC dollars were distributed in the soft packs. As in the MS-63 1878 CC in the picture you posted.
You can get empty GSA boxes with a COA on eBay for around $10. I bought one for a GSA I purchased which did not have the box/coa (and paid about $20 less than "normal" so I saved $10).
