<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 442525, member: 15309&quot;]Yeah I know, but it is still very improbable. The coins were minted 3000 miles apart.&nbsp; First they would somehow have to find their way into the same bag.&nbsp; Considering the mintages of both the 1886 and 1881-S, that is really unlikely.&nbsp; Secondly, when collectors/dealers that find unopened bags of Morgans, they usually pick out the best coins especially rainbow toned coins and submit them together.&nbsp; The chances that these two coins were found in the same bag and then submitted to different TPG&#039;s years apart is a little unbelievable IMO.&nbsp; I think they came from two different bags but both somehow got something on the surface of the coins before the toning occured.</p><p><br /></p><p>My reason for posting the 1881-S was to illustrate that the toning patter/color scheme is consistent with that of bag toning and that sometimes things happen while the coin is in the bag that cause breaks in the toning.&nbsp; They are very similar in appearance, but I just can&#039;t buy that they came from the same bag.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
