I take it nobody was able to track down the original back-and-forth of the infamous CU thread involving The Omega Man ?
Any more seen since, Insider ?
What are we looking at here ?
What's interesting is that toning takes so long to happen but spotting (i.e., blemishes on modern ASEs) happens much quicker.
You're saying the TPG holders are air-tight so whatever is happening to the Morgan has already taken place during the decades of air exposure ?
But the toning mostly happens after folks have them and collect them, mostly in TPG holders. So I don't think the storage pre-TPG...
Great post.....are Morgans and Peace Dollars the same silver-wise ? Same silver content, same silver sources ?
Saint-Gaudens Hoards By Date: I thought a year-by-year rundown of the various Saint hoards might be of interest. Most of this information is...

I would think that John Albanese @ CAC would have some interesting stories to tell about Saint and Morgan hoards over the decades.
Fantastic commercial with Larry David, I must say. :D
You can see a list of 7 coins weekly in BARRON'S which comes out on Saturdays. Krugerrands and Austria Crowns have been the cheapest on a %-basis.
Were there any rare or semi-scarce Morgans in either the Olathe or NY Bank Hoards ?
NY Bank Hoard was a Manhattan resident who stored them at a local bank, right ? I think those have their own label, too.
MS-65....fields look clean, except obverse left. But others here are far better at grading Morgans than I am.
I read some of the Carson City papers at that time. They said the coins were being appraised by reputable dealers and would sell for 105-110% of...
Interesting tidbit about the Samaszko Hoard, the 2012 hoard found in a Carson City, Nevada recluses home after he died. There were about 1,200...
That would be the Walter Samaszko hoard, right ? 2012 or 2013. How many chapters/pages are in that book talking about Double Eagle (Saint OR...
