[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 762277, member: 112"]Yes, what Bowers says is true. But rather obviously the mint did not take any special care with the Morgans.

Be that as it may, there were definitely coins from the centers of the bags that were untoned for all practical purposes. I have never denied this. My statement was and always has been that [B]80%[/B], [U]not 100% or all[/U], of all older coins if appearing to be blast white are white because they were dipped. That means there are 20% of the coins that are white that have not been dipped. And thank you for the direct quote from Bowers that further proves what I have been saying all along.[/QUOTE]
