Could this be a source of many wildly toned Morgans?

    It's a log book relating to the boxing and storage of "uncurrent dollars" from October 1898. Damp conditions, rotting canvas, rusty iron --- might produce all sorts of rainbow colors on silver. The book is about 30 pages long; most of it covers coins in bags.

    And I thought that this thread would be very interesting (or at least entertaining)......

    I find all this old documentation interesting. And I appreciate Roger sharing it. (Maybe I'm just easily entertained.) image

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Where are all those rusty 1898's today as most MS65-67 are white.

    I wonder what "Blank $40" meant?

    Neat, they found a dime in one bag and added it in.

    The dollars were boxed in 1898, not necessarily dated 1898. "Uncurrent" normally meant "not of the current year" in this context.
