In time,he amassed over 8,261 “CC” Morgans,all in original General ServiceAdministration (GSA) holders! A vaultin an old bank building held all of hiscoins. This hoard turned out to be oneof the largest groups of “CC” Morgansaccumulated since those in theTreasury sales of the 1970s & 1980.Littleton Coin’s David &Maynard Sundman with Coin BuyerKen Westover shown with theSouthern “CC” CacheHere’s what collectors sayabout Morgan Dollars from Littleton“These Morgan dollars are beautiful, I love them!
