    If I recall correctly, there was only one 89-CC (maybe two?) in the GSA release.

    Never had one.
    They started in 1993, after the silver era

    I can understand that more than a few people like them.
    But I can use the few extra bucks they cost to get something else I want.
    And I'm sure if I look around I can find something similar that I'm doing.

    Two, I believe. They are worth a fortune, obviously.

    Very neat; I didn't know that the GSA sold Peace Dollars.

    The coins, or the cases? ;)

    Both. 1889CC Morgans that are MS are rather valuable. Put it in a very rare holder situation, and you have a key coin in an even rarer environment. If it is MS, you're talking a $60-100,000 coin.

    So, you're saying it wouldn't be a crack-out candidate? ;)

    IIRC there is CC gold in GSA holders also

    Umm, I believe they made a case for every coin they put in a case.

    Why would one crack it out? NGC grades GSA Morgans, with the ribbon. The rarity of an 1889CC in a GSA, if one actually got to see one, would preclude a crack out. :)

    Good if we all stuck to this type of thinking the TPGs wouldn't have us bent over a barrel like in "Deliverance".....

    I'm also wondering if the soft pack plastic (I assume it's cellophane?) these things are in is stable, or if that even matters much once they're encapsulated by NGC.

    Wow. Exactly how far do GSA sales extend?

    There was a single example of the 1889 CC, the 1892 CC, and the 1893 CC in the GSA sales. They went out in the Mixed CC dollar category at $15 each. Two of them ( I don't remember which two) still exist today in the GSA holder, the third one never resurfaced. The 1864 dollar in the softpack shown earlier was the only seated dollar in the GSA sale. It was sold in the mixed circulated category for $3. The last time it sold it went for a high four figure price. (There were at least three bags of Mint State 1859 O and 1860 O dollars that were distributed for face value during the Treasury silver dollar rush in the early 1960's.)

    There are gold coins in slabs labeled as being GSA hoard coins, but they came much later and were coins seized by the government from drug dealers or other forfeitures. As with other government surplus property they were sold by the GSA. Some enterprising dealers purchased them and got the TPG to slab them as GSA Hoard coins. There are no GSA holders with gold in them.
