<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 344792, member: 9474"]Thanks everyone for these great comments about the GSA holders. I definitely looked here first before I made any purchases. I have always wanted to purchase a GSA Morgan, but wasn't sure until I read this thread. Just like the Brown Ikes or Blue Ikes, the GSA Black Boxes, have a greater significance to me the collector, than the same Morgans in a TPS slab or out of a dealer's case.</p><p> </p><p>There was a local coin show this past weekend where I live. I was just about to leave the show and I was saying goodbye to a friend who was selling at the show. As I was leaving, he was digging through a box and proceeded to pull out 3 black boxes. At first glance I didn't know what they were, but after a double look I noticed that they were 3 GSA black boxes. I am very particular about buying items in the original packaging. When I buy something like this that is dated, I like to have the original packaging as close to mint condition as possible. Thankfully, my friend did too, and the cases were in perfect condition just like he received them years ago. I went ahead and purchased from him the 82, 83, and 84 CC's under MS 60 prices, but over AU prices. All the Morgans were definitely in MS condition. The 82 unfortunately had a bad bag mark across the face, but other than that was in fantastic condition.</p><p> </p><p>In the end I was extremely happy with my purchase and will have some nice coins to pass on to my kids. Now I am hooked and need to find the other CC's in GSA boxes. Thanks for everyone's comments - they really do benefit the coin collector community out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
