[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4896561, member: 10461"]There's some nice looking silvered AEs in this thread. It often did. Not so much from the ones you may have seen when you were young- those had circulated. But some of the ones which were stored in cloth bags in vaults for generations did acquire some interesting toning, as [USER=76440]@Carausius[/USER] mentioned. They are very popular with collectors. That doesn't mean there aren't artificially toned ones out there, too (including a few in this thread), but many colorfully toned Morgan dollars are indeed natural.
