<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2359068, member: 37839&quot;]I would agree with some of what is stated above.&nbsp; However, I would take a second to refer to the PCGS population reports to show the relative scarcity of a given date--1882.&nbsp; The reason why I picked it is the prevalence of many popular CC dollars from the GSA horde.&nbsp; Despite the fact that the mintage of Morgans in 1882 at Carson City was 1,113,000 (comparatively low for a Morgan), the survival rate through the GSA horde was 53%, and is believed to be even higher.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A look at the population chart for 1882 as an illustrative example may be interesting:</p><p><br /></p><p>1882cc in PL and DMPL:</p><p><br /></p><p>2509 in PL certified</p><p>2209 in DMPL certified</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1882o in PL and DMPL:</p><p><br /></p><p>688 PL certified</p><p>538 certified.</p><p><br /></p><p>This pattern continues during the 1880s.&nbsp; What I am saying is that the survival rate of the CC dollars from 1882-1884 in PL and DMPL is fairly&nbsp; high, compared to that of the comparable New Orleans issue, despite far greater mintage for the 1882o.&nbsp;&nbsp; The pattern holds--3704 in PL, and 3749 for the 1883cc.&nbsp; &nbsp; The 1883o PL is 2554 in PL and 1678 in DMPL.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is that a certain fascination with cc dollars (with the exception of the more rare ones--1881cc, 1885cc, and of course 1889cc and 1893cc), the cc dollars are fairly common, relative to price, and survival rate.&nbsp; Well-struck coins from New Orleans in PL and DMPL are still uncommon, relative to mintages.&nbsp; &nbsp; Thus, from a collectible and investment strategy, while all PL and DMPL mintages are a good bet, certain dates are way better in terms of potential.&nbsp;&nbsp; Those dates may not necessarily be the more glamorous ones---everybody loves cc dollars, but the GSA ones have rendered them fairly commonplace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
