[QUOTE="diocletian, post: 761772, member: 15273"]Hi GD, I was born in 58 and so wasn't old enough to enjoy the fun of the 60's. But I will take what people like David Bowers said to be true. From his silver dollar book- " Morgan silver dollars struck for circulation and placed in bags of a 1,000 coins each, and stored, when opened years later, such as in the 1960's indeed yielded pristine, brilliant, frosty pieces full original brightness and luster, including on the edges" So what kind of special care did the mint take in storing these coins for better than the 40 years from the 60's till now? They were thrown in sulphur laden canvas bags and dumped in dank basements yet ones in the middle of the bag remained white. And so my point is that even accidentally there would still be many blast white morgans that haven't been dipped.[/QUOTE]
