The Peace 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 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 Peace dollars graded as high as ms65.
These coins originally sold for a minimum of $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.
The Peace dollar is not as attractive to me as the Morgan dollar, and the survival rate of really nice ones seems lower than the Morgan dollar. The strike is generally flatter, but the design is starting to grow on me.
If you have any rare dates or VAM's to sell or trade, please contact me at gsa_gem_quest@cox.net or 949-701-6513.
