<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26567778, member: 101855&quot;]Many Morgan Dollars were kept in bags, away from the air, for many years. The fact that they did not tone is because of the way they were stored. Therefore you should be afraid of all of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>The short history is, because of politics far more Morgan Dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 than the country demanded or needed. The vast majority were stored in treasury vaults. That&#039;s many dates are so common in Mint State. </p><p><br /></p><p>About half of them were melted due to the Pittman Act of 1918. There were still plenty of them left, however. Over the years, they were distributed to the population. The last of them were the &quot;Carson City Hoard&quot; which was sold by the General Services Administration in the 1970s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
