If you mean GSA Morgans, something just over a zillion, LOL really a lot of them anyway and most easily graded 63-64 out of the bag/ Pretty nice coins, but there were a lot of nice bags of 80 Carsons still floating around amongst dealers when the GSA thing happened so the gsa holder is really the only thing unique about them actually I believe you can go to NGC site and find the numbers. likewise PCGS
NGC lists 15 separate subsets (18 if you include the GSA Soft Pack) for the 1880-CC GSA Morgan. Of the 4,784 (4,803 if you include the GSA Soft Pack) that were graded, there are 1,679 in MS64. The estimated mintage of the 1880-CC is 125,000. Chris
Is this what you want to know ? When the Treasury Department halted the flow of Silver Dollars at face value to the public in March of 1964, they still were in possession of approximately 3 million Silver Dollars, the majority of which were minted in Carson City Nevada. Nothing was done with the hoard until late 1971 when they were turned over to the General Services Administration to be sold. The accepted quantities of each date were: • 1878CC - 61,000 • 1879CC - 4,100 • 1880CC - 131,500 • 1881CC - 147,500 • 1882CC - 605,000 • 1883CC - 755,500 • 1884CC - 962,600 • 1885CC - 148,300 • 1890CC - 3,950 • 1891CC - 5,700 one each of the 1889-CC, 1892-CC, and 1893-CC The remainder consisted of approximately 125,000 circulated and uncirculated Dollars from various other mints. For NGC populations, you can look that up on Heritage.

YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!! Thank you so much, I really want a GSA 1880-CC don't ask me why I just love the date I'm bummed i was outbid last night at $500, it went for $511..... Thank you so mich
I'm looking at buying this one, the seller says they believe its a solid 63, (would prefer a 64) what do you think of it? Asking $500 Vam-6
goldstone: Your link is back to this thread. As far as the coin, nice overdate. looks like a nice coin to me.
Join the club! Last month, I was bidding on a really nice rainbow, non-GSA, 80-CC in an NGC MS64. My max bid of $850 fell short by $400! Chris
Good gosh, yes! You'd better buy it fast before it's gone. It looks like a 64 to me. As a matter of fact, I think you made a mistake by posting it here. If it wasn't for the fact that I have my ethics, I would have bought it out from under you. Chris
It's interesting to note that in QDB's Red Book, the estimated population was stated as 125,000 for the 80-CC, and I also noted that production didn't even begin until the summer of 1880. Apparently, there was a disparity in the fineness of a shipment that was sent to Philadelphia in July, 1880 for testing, and the Carson City Mint was ordered not to pay out any of the 1880-CC's until further testing was performed in Philadelphia. Since the GSA quantity is higher than QDB's estimate, I'm wondering if that is the total actual production of the 1880-CC, or were some coins actually paid out by Carson City before the order came from Philadelphia to halt the release. Does anyone know? Chris
Total mintage for the 1880-CC is 591,000. Are you sure that what you read in Bowers' book is not the estimated mintage for just one variety of that date/mint. There are several.
