<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 2725939, member: 86305&quot;]We have several toned AU Morgans and they tend to be darker than others.&nbsp; In New Orleans they were often used in circulation and then made their way back to the Mint and back into storage.&nbsp; So they may have had the same exposure to moisture and bag chemicals as uncirculated coins.&nbsp; Also remember that some toning came from album storage and sales enclosures and any coin could have made it into that environment regardless of circulation status.</p><p><a href="http://www.1881o.com/toned-coins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.1881o.com/toned-coins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.1881o.com/toned-coins.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, as I remember the Mint officials added arsenic to the bag cloth to discourage rats from eating through them.&nbsp; So there is one exposure chemical that is sure to please.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
