<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 535900, member: 112"]Now wait a minute, you're missing something here. Just how long is that you think it takes a coin to tone ? I assure it is not 40 or 50 years. The '60s after all were 50 years ago. It's not even 30 years. Coins begin to tone the very instant after they are struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it's not because the Morgans were stored in bank vaults for decades. Every single one of those coins from those bags has toned. No, the bright rainbow colors that everybody first thinks of, but rather a duller, darker white - a grey if you will. It is all a matter of degree. And that is only for those that are still in the original GSA holders. For all of those others from those bank vault bags that are not in the original holders, fully 80% or more of them have been dipped in recent years to make them all bright and shiny and new looking. Had they been left alone, they would not look that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
