<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 356487, member: 9474"]Yes - I should have clarified that - it was a GSA Morgan. I never got to see those auctioned off. There were a few early mint sets in original packaging that I was after (55, 56, 57 & 58) and two proof sets in original packaging (54 and 55). The guy next to me kept out bidding me and won all of them. When they handed them to him, he just crumpled them up and put them in his pocket!!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Guess he didn't care about the original mint packaging and was just interested in the coins. I just wanted to cry. The original packaging was in perfect condition - call me crazy, but I look for that kind of stuff. Tells you what kind of person had the coins before and how they took care of them. Of course they could have put the coins in a shoe box up in the attic for the past 60 years, but you get the point. Whoever had them took really good care of them. </p><p> </p><p>Anyway, I had to leave after that so I missed all the Morgans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
