First-Year Carson City Morgan from the GSA Hoard

The Government Services Administration (GSA) hoard was a hidden stash of vintage coins kept by the U.S. government for decades. Eventually, the hoard’s Morgan Silver Dollars were released via the GSA between 1972 and 1980. This sale is among the most significant silver dollar hoards of all time, and we’ve secured a number of GSA Morgans from the fabled Carson City Mint — creator of just 2% of all Morgans struck!

This first-year 1878-CC Morgan will arrive in its original government holder. It’s estimated that few coins still exist in their original black boxes. Secure yours now and you’ll also receive a certified section of an actual Carson City Mint Morgan bag, two storybooks and a reprint of a 1970s GSA brochure!

Carson City GSA Morgan Silver Dollars get harder to find each year as and more and more are cracked out of their GSA holders and disappear into private collections. So, don’t wait; secure this first-year CC Morgan and begin your GSA Morgan collection today!

  • AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar – so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan — has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878-1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America’s “Wild West” and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers and dance hall girls.
  • CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan’s historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
  • STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Struck in 26.73 grams of 90% silver from the famous Comstock Lode, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin 38.1 mm in diameter. When this coin was plunked down on a counter, its weight meant real money, pure and simple.
  • LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America’s Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
  • BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Not only will your 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar come sonically sealed in its original GSA holder, but it will come in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
  • THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence!
