<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4674267, member: 105571&quot;]I can see why you&#039;d think this given the streaks on the reverse and I&#039;m not refuting it but I&#039;d like to point out that:</p><p><br /></p><p>- These were purchased from GSA by my father in the original sales.</p><p>- There is absolutely zero evidence that the plastic holder has been opened nor evidence of any attempts to do so.</p><p>-&nbsp; They were held in an interior closet of the same air-conditioned house in a metal lock box until 1993 when they were transferred to a bank safety deposit box where they have resided ever since.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, other than handling at GSA and their contractors up to the point of encapsulation, I can&#039;t see where there would have been any opportunity to mess with the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I don&#039;t care if it&#039;s been messed with or not - there isn&#039;t enough money in these Morgans to really care about it.&nbsp; I&#039;m just curious why you think its been messed with.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another Morgan in this batch of 10 that has a patch of something between the date and bust.&nbsp; Looks kind of fuzzy and maybe &quot;gluey&quot; and would definitely impact its gradeability IMO so maybe whoever was encapsulating the GSA&#039;s was careless or sloppy?&nbsp; Anybody know anything of the QC that went into the distribution of these things, just as a matter of academic interest?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
