<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3003506, member: 112&quot;]Those are not mintage numbers I listed above. Those are the actual numbers of coins by date/mint that were sold in the GSA sales.

Well, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing. There are rarity scales for Morgan dollars however, I think you can find them in the Van Allen books, but even that is based on the specific varieties of each coin. So unless you can identify a specific variety for each individual coin you want to know about, I&#039;m not sure you can find what you want. But I&#039;ve been wrong before and no doubt will be again.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, the numbers I gave you do give you a pretty good idea of just how scarce or common any of the GSA coins are when you combine those numbers with the either of the rarity scales I also provided.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given the numbers of the actual GSA coins, there&#039;s no way, shape or form that any of them besides the last 3 can even be considered to be scarce, let alone rare. But the numbers I gave you do tell you which ones sell for more than the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>What they don&#039;t tell you is the conditional rarity that is based solely on grade. For that, you can go to Heritage and look them up one at a time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
