Talk about buying the slab instead of the coin...

Doesn't have any impact on the thread, but I've been shopping with these guys locally for at least six years...

They have always seemed nice and on the up and up... I'd be shocked to find out this was not on the level...

I've been in other local coin shops and did not get the same feeling... At all..

The link wasn't working at 4AM. As I understand it, those GSA sales were in the 1990's?

This a brief history I found.

GSA and U.S. Mint Sealed Dollars

After an audit in 1964 revealed that the U.S. Treasury held millions of silver dollars, a comprehensive accounting and preparations for their disposition began. In a series of sales between 1973 and 1980, the GSA offered these coins at public auction. Coins deemed to be circulated were auctioned in 1973. These coins, unlike the uncirculated coins, were packaged in soft plastic sleeves with a white plastic GSA token. A certificate, bidding information card, and the sealed dollar were then placed inside a blue envelope marked, “United States Silver Dollar.”
