The Morgan silver dollars packaged in the GSA soft packs (also referred to as the blue packs) were released in 1973, as part of the 2nd sale of coins by the General Services Administration.
The sale of blue packs consisted of 97,591 dollars, including 13,526 of the 1878-CC Morgan dollars. Peace silver dollars and a few Seated Liberty dollars were also included in the coins sold. No one recorded the number of dates or mint marks sold, other than for the 1878-CC Morgans.
Although the sales literature described the coins as circulated, there are many examples of uncirculated coins, including some graded as high as ms65, ms66 and ms67.
These coins originally sold for $3 each, and many were probably cut out of the plastic holders.
NGC only recently began grading these coins in their original plastic holders. Many of the circulated coins will not grade due to damage or prior cleanings.
If you have any rare dates to sell or trade, please contact me at 949-720-2118 or gsa_gem_quest@cox.net.
