<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 578576, member: 5233&quot;]If that&#039;s the case, then there are no &quot;Mint State&quot; coins left.&nbsp; I know it has been said that coins oxidize almost instantly and therefore all coins we see have a thin and invisible oxide layer on them.&nbsp; But, on top of that...any blast white Morgan or Peace Dollar (or any coin from that era) you find has almost certainly been dipped.&nbsp; These coins are made from a reactive metal that won&#039;t last 100 years without toning a little.&nbsp; It&#039;s true that the rainbow coins are a bit extreme...but any original silver MS coin will have some toning.&nbsp; It&#039;s just high school level chemistry.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example, this 1881-S Morgan isn&#039;t rainbow toned and has wonderful luster.&nbsp; But, it isn&#039;t blast white.&nbsp; It has a nice natural look to it.&nbsp; It has a touch of toning...now rainbow toning, but there is a little there.&nbsp; Compare it to a brand new ASE and you will see what I mean.&nbsp; A Morgan from this era that is blast white is certainly beautiful but not even close to natural.</p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1881-SMorganDollar.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
