<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kryptonitecomic, post: 974235, member: 26784&quot;]I think those that say there can&#039;t be original white coins left especially when we are talking about the tens of millions of uncirculated morgans still available in the market are mistaken. I know for a fact that when the battle creek hoards bags (9 bags) were opened....along with the 1,400 hundred or so nicely toned morgans...there were in fact thousands of blast white examples in the bags and it makes perfect sense as the coins closer to the cloth bag would be the coins found with toning and the coins in the middle with little to no exposure to the sulfer in the cloth would remain untoned. I also don&#039;t believe for a second that banks were in the habit of dipping coins anymore than they would be in the habit of washing paper bills at the bank today. Coins were rebagged and&nbsp; resealed for sure but dipping was not a bank practice but rather a collector/dealer practice. You can be sure that there are still sealed bags available on the market today that were sealed in the 50&#039;s or 60&#039;s and if opened you would find a large population of blast white coins. How many bags still survive.....probably not a whole lot but there are a lot of old time collectors/investors with these things still sitting in their closets and as they pass on their relatives dump these things on the market from time to time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a toned coin fanatic and that will never change for me...I am very accepting of those that prefer white coins, I just wish the reverse were true. If you don&#039;t like toned coins there is no need to label them damaged or artificial....simply collect what you like and allow others to do the same without all of the negativity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris...Ringo.....all of the damaged coins are mine and if you step on my toes in this thread...me and mr E-Z-Est Coin Cleaner will be sneaking over to your house and I will leave it up to your imaginiation as to what your rainbow beauties will look like after I get done with them.... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
