<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whendric, post: 13441896, member: 143854&quot;]Thank you all for all of the information. Corrosion is something that I never considered. I&#039;m also not sure why the AU details instead of UNC details. It&#039;s clear to me that this coin was never in a bag or circulated. I have never seen a cheek that clean before. That&#039;s part of the reason why I&#039;m not really a fan of the Morgan dollars, because of all of the bag marks. In my opinion, it takes away from the eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can imagine this coin spending it&#039;s first 70 years in a roll in a vault somewhere only to be released when given to my Great Aunt Margaret in the early 50&#039;s. This coin obviously pre-dates the GSA hoards, what were the chances that UNC 1878 CC rolls would have been available at that time? She could have picked it from the Treasury itself. I think back then, it was open and you could get coins from the actually Treasury Building.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a photo in the slab and a couple photos that I took of it raw before I sent it in. The strike is so crisp, I can&#039;t see how it got AU instead of UNC details. I mean you can see the bands on the eagle&#039;s talons. It just took my breath away when I pulled out from the back of the safe deposit box.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529901[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1529902[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
