<p>[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 26568063, member: 73995"]I used to think that I would guess that a good 90% if not more have been subject to a quick rinse in a dilute dip of some sort. After going thru may original bags of Lincons from the 60's, I have found that that centrally located coins are as brilliant as the day that they were minted. The closer you get to the canvas carbon spots begin to show up on the surfaces. Every once in a while, you get a coin that has a solid brown appearance on one side (corroded). So, with copper being a very volatile metal I can see why a Morgan "not many" can stay a brilliant white if stored properly. I do believe that they are rarer than one may think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
