<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7251174, member: 37839"]Very few Seated Halves are in their original skin. It was the trend to dip virtually all of them by collectors, 50-60 years ago. Expect 90% of these coins to be dipped, to a greater or lesser degree. If a TPG thinks the coin was excessively dipped, then they detail it—simple as that. Even a lot of the Chocolate Brown coins had been dipped at one time—retoning within the aforementioned 50 year period happens often. Heck, I have moderns that have toned in a 2-3 year period, in the humid Florida air. The only way to prevent toning is an airlock environment. Barring that, assume every single totally white silver coin has been dipped. This is certainly the case with Morgan Dollsrs. The storage of Seated Halves, and quarters was not substantially different than Morgans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
