<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3273181, member: 112&quot;]Well let&#039;s say I&#039;ve never seen one graded lower than that by them. But I have seen quite a few in the boxes that were definitely circulated coins (I used to collect GSA coins many years ago).</p><p><br /></p><p>But there&#039;s kind of a caveat that goes along with that. Ya see, for, I dunno, maybe 20 years almost, if you sent a GSA coin in to be graded the TPG would remove it from the original packaging and slab them. And there was no notation on the slab stating that they were GSA coins. And some of them very well may have been graded lower than MS. Also, if anyone ever sent in a GSA to be graded after the TPGs began grading them in the original packaging, and that coin was graded lower than MS - do you really think the owner would leave the coin wrapped in the TPG cellophane with that less than MS grade on it ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Doing that would be kind of like the kiss of death so I think many if not even most would remove the TPG cellophane with the grade on it (restore it to its original state in other words) and present the appearance it had never even happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point of all this being that there very well might have been quite a few GSA coins, originally in the unc boxes, that were graded less than MS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
