NGC Grades 16,000 Morgan Dollars from New York Bank Hoard!

 

Super cool story!  I would have loved to see these before they were opened!  Maybe now is a good time to find a nice 67 or two for my collection!!  Let me know if anyone knows where I can find one!

I think this is one of the interesting passages from Garrett's description: 

"Our only disappointment was the relatively small number of attractively toned coins. There are probably less than 100 examples with rainbow toning. I would have thought that 50 years of sitting in cloth bags would have produced a much different result in that regard. Nearly all of the coins are frosty white in appearance."

Wonder if there will be any 'Top Dog' toners in that bunch. Check out Jhon E. Cash website for examples of color progression if you are a believer.

You would have loved to see sixteen sealed canvas bags?

if seeing sealed canvas bags makes you happy I'm sure we can seal up some bags for you.
