<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1217248, member: 66&quot;]The prices of the GSA coins depended on which sale you are talking about and which group of coins you were bidding on.&nbsp; The Mixed Circulated catagory contained all of the obviously circulated coins including circulated CC coins.&nbsp; These were the coins in the softpacks.&nbsp; (For some reason a lot of the MS 78-CC dollars were sent out in these softpacks.)&nbsp; The Mixed Circulated catagory sold for $3 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next cheapest catagory was the Mixed Uncirculated and Mixed CC group.&nbsp; These were the Uncirculated non-CC dollars and the CC dollars that were MS but which had been culled out of the Uncirculated group because of toning.&nbsp; (These come in the hardpacks labeled Uncirculated Silver Dollar, and Carson City Silver Dollar.)&nbsp; The Mixed Uncirculated may have been $7, the Mixed CC&#039;s were $15.&nbsp; Next were the 1882, 83, and 84 Uncirculated CC group.&nbsp; They were $30 apiece.&nbsp; Next were the 1881 and 1885 CC&#039;s&nbsp; I believe these were around $60 each.&nbsp; The final CC dollars had various higher minimum bids and these all sold for more than their minimum bids.</p><p><br /></p><p>After all the sales in the 1970&#039;s there were still a bunch of 1882, 83, and 84 CC&#039;s left.&nbsp; These were put up for sale in 1980.&nbsp; Originally they were going to sold for I think $30 but the huge run up in silver in Jan and Feb of 1980 caused them to raise the Minimum bid&nbsp; about a month before the sale to $60.&nbsp; In the meantime silver CRASHED back down to $10 an oz.&nbsp; Under pressure at the last moment the minimum bid was reduced to $45 each.&nbsp; Unfortunately they also raised the maximum number you could bid on from 5 coins to 500.&nbsp; The number of submitted bids greatly exceeded the number of available coins.&nbsp; Rather than cutting down the&nbsp; number of coins awarded per bidder so that everyone could have some they simply filled the bids in the order they were received and most of the coins went to the big bidders and most bidders lost out.&nbsp; There were a lot of sore feelings over that sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
