<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3220725, member: 78244"]I read an article where someone found a hoard of BU Mercury dimes in 1940’s dime boards. These were stored in a bank in Colorado (hence most of these are D mint), and the arid climate and the sulfur-rich cardboard contributed to rich toning. Since all were directly transferred from rolls to these boards, all were pristine, and a <i>very</i> significant number of them graded MS-69. The issues involved were 1939 D, 1940 D, and 1941 D iirc.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the hoard was first submitted, all came back AT. Then they were resubmitted with the coin board. And they all received straight grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
