<p>[QUOTE="raider34, post: 535656, member: 16402"]Many of the Morgans were minted put into 1,000 coin canvas bags and stored at the mints, and other facilities, and forgotten about. Many of those coins didn't see the light of day till the late 50's and early 60's when people begain to redeem them at face value. Also the final GSA sale in the 70's sold off the last of the coins. So it's easy to see how the coins could still look brand new after 100 years. As for the scratches there is a difference between scratches and bag marks, and fine scratches caused by harsh cleaning. If your interested in Morgans, I would recommend David Bowers Red Book Guide to Morgan Dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
