<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksmooter61, post: 26371570, member: 169607&quot;]Does anyone have, know of or heard of anybody who has a group of Morgans either with the original mint bag or <u>known to be from a single bag</u>? I ask because I do have a few (no bag unfortunately), will share that story sometime soon, and just trying to see how common this is. I have also searched for just the original US Mint bags on all of the auction sites, and other than the newer bags, or the slabbed Morgans with a small bag remnant, cannot find any. If anyone has one of the original bags it would be cool to see it. Looking at photos from when they were originally stored it is easy to see how they could have eroded as the years went on.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1682966[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I did come across this story from Coin World back in 2019 of a hoard of 16 bags held since 1964, but no explanation of how they were dispersed other than the higher-grade specimens were removed first, and that the others were packed into coin tubes and sent to NGC in Florida to be sold off individually (I assume?)</p><p><a href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/silver-dollar-hoard-from-1960s-government-sale.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/silver-dollar-hoard-from-1960s-government-sale.html" rel="nofollow">Hoard of 16,000 Morgan silver dollars to be graded, marketed</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Would love to hear any of your stories as well![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
