They have been minted in Carson City and then sent to Philadelphia when the Carson City mint was shut down. and so they&#039;d remained in their original bags and treasury vault since they werwe minted. Textbook uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the non Carson City Morgan and Peace dollars are just random coins that had been bagged and stored in the mint. Some came back in from circulation and some were uncirculated coins that never had been issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorting those by people who may have had just a few hours of training didn&#039;t always get perfect results. That&#039;s why when you&#039;re looking at the non Carson City hard packs you really need to look at the coin not whether the insert says uncirculated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
