[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 13434, member: 112"]Yes it is genuine. The majority of the GSA dollars come a case just like that one. But the GSA dollars were also issued in other cases. You see in the pic you provided it says UNCIRCULATED SILVER DOLLAR on the case ? Well they were also issued in cases that just said SILVER DOLLAR. They were also issued in blue,soft plastic cases. And not all of the GSA dollars have the CC mint mark either. The cases with just SILVER DOLLAR on them, and those in the soft blue cases were considered by the US Mint to be circulated coins.
