    Hehe, all I would find is wrappers because my kids would have swarmed the chocolate as soon as it appeared. They have a magical "chocolate" detector.

    I'd be majorly PO'd, because I'm allergic to chocolate and have been working on my collection for several years now.

    Well, the good thing is that most of my coins are in PCGS holders. So if they morphed into chocolate, and they were still in the holders... I'd send them into PCGS for their authenticity guarentee.

    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    If they turned into Godiva chocolates, they might be worth more than as coins.

    I would probably limit myself to the common-date Morgans and try not to eat the better dates. But if you're talking dark chocolate, I just don't know how long I could hold out.

    Has no one else ever looked at a nice lustrous Morgan and thought... that looks good enough to eat? (Did I just think that, or actually type it?)

    Seriously though, I would probably put them back in storage and hope they change back.

    As Forest Gump once said......"Life is a box of chocolates; you're never going to know what you find." Perhaps we'd all start a new grading service for these tasty morsels and the slabs might be used to prevent metting! <grin>

    Hmmh, imagine that! All your key date with mint marks all melted away making the Morgan dollar now a common one. Gives me myocardial infarction thinking about it.

    "Gelt" does enjoy quite a long shelf life.
