<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C G Memminger, post: 2102631, member: 71506&quot;]GSAs are fun, and popular with collectors (and dealers). The most common GSAs are 1884, 1883 and 1882.&nbsp; Less common GSAs, but available are 1878, 1880, 1881 and 1885.&nbsp; Rarest GSAs are 1879, 1890 and 1891.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting to note that 1890 had the highest mintage for any CC Morgans (2,309,041).&nbsp; But very few found there way into the bags found my the GSA.&nbsp; an 1890-CC in a GSA container MUST STAY IN THE CONTAINER.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also interesting to note that the 1884-CC was considered to be a scarce coin prior to the GSA find.&nbsp; They simply were not available in quantity.&nbsp; It was believed that most had been melted under the Pitman Act.&nbsp; But NO!!&nbsp; Of the 3,000,000 GSA Carsons in the hoard, 962,638 were 84s.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also interesting is the fact that the 1885-CC had the lowest mintage (238,000), but is readily available.&nbsp; Next rarest is the 81-CC at 296,000, but also readily available.&nbsp; Then comes the 89-CC at 350,000.&nbsp; 89s are readily available (and expensive) in lower and mid grades.&nbsp; They are rare in XF, very rare in AU, and rarely seen in MS grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite Carson is the 1880, because of all the interesting varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
