<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 442954, member: 112&quot;]You are reading things into my comments that are not there. First of all, I am not saying that it was an original Treasury bag. I am saying it was a bank bag. Every so often banks had to actually count all of the silver dollars they had. In the process of doing this the coins from the original Treasury bags would get all mixed together. Thus the bag of mixed dates/mints.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was also common as recently as the 1960&#039;s for coin dealers, and collectors, to purchase silver dollars a few at a time until they had enough for a bag. Then they would store the bag.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now it is in either a bank bag or a dealer/collector bag that I am saying these coins likely got toned. And then, something got spilled on the bag and caused that toning to run and spot as we see on these 2 coins. After that, the coins were likely sold to different collectors - who knows how many times, <u><b>before</b></u> either one of them was sent in for grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it, the coins have almost exactly the same kind of toning. The colors are almost identical. And - the colors have run and spotted in almost exactly the same way with the resulting color also being identical. </p><p><br /></p><p>And as much as you know about toned coins you know that very, very seldom do any 2 coins tone in the same way - unless they are submitted to exactly the same conditions at the same time. Thus my reasoning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now is it possible that I am wrong ? Absolutely. But given the evidence of the 2 coins, I doubt it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
