[QUOTE="kena, post: 1310130, member: 22458"]If you thought the US mint screwed up with the recent 25th Anniversary American Eagle set, that was nothing compared to the 1980 GSA sale. I never found out about the toll free number that had to be called, so my mail order bid based on Nov. 1979 bid guidelines was no longer valid. Whole thing was a shambles and very disappointing to a teenage collector who just after a single coin. So since I failed to get one that way, I tried to buy one at one coin shows that the Gold Coast Coin Club used to hold at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida but at the time most dealers were cracking the coins out the GSA holders. So I never acquired a CC Morgan Dollar in a GSA holder. Shortly after all this, I stopped collecting since college, work, raising kids, etc took over until a few years ago. By the way, I did also miss out on the 25th Anniversary American Eagle set and was not collecting when the 20th Anniversary Eagle set was released. Ken[/QUOTE]
