<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2643351, member: 73983&quot;]I just finished reading &#039;Carson City Morgan Dollars, Featuring the Coins of the GSA Hoard&#039; by Adam Crum, Selby Ungar and Jeff Oxman this weekend.&nbsp; The official GSA records provided by the government when all the coins were inventoried back in 1970 a single 1889-CC, 1892-CC and 1893-CC were reported.&nbsp; The 1889-CC has since turned up and was graded as MS-62 DPL by NGC.&nbsp; The 1892 and 1893 have never surfaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was speculation that the &#039;89, &#039;92 and &#039;93 were salted by one of the experts and dealers who were brought in to over see the handling of the Morgan&#039;s and to establish standards that were used to sort the coins by quality.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;89, &#039;92 and &#039;93 were listed as being included into the &quot;Mixed CC&quot; category since there were only 1 of each date and they had no idea how distribute them fairly.&nbsp; Incidentally the &quot;Mixed CC&quot; category is where the scratched and toned coins were lumped into.&nbsp; So it&#039;s possible that those two coins are somewhere in a drawer unopened, or perhaps they were cracked out of the holder shortly after being received by the purchaser without knowing of their rarity in a GSA holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
