There isn't a blast white coin in existance over 80 years old that hasn't been dipped, no matter wha

Without getting nasty....I don't think this is true.

But, I don't have much to support my belief.



What might be some examples? I think bags of Morgans would fit. What else?

    Bags of morgans are my guess. Also, some coins that were in rolls, such as buffalo nickels, might not have toned at all in that much time.

    I certainly believe the GSA Morgans have not been dipped.. and many are blast white... there are many in collections that have been passed down that have not been dipped... that being said, I am sure there are many, many that have been dipped. But such an all inclusive statement is ridiculous and unsupportable. Cheers, RickO

    Plenty of Morgans stored in bags in Treasury vaults are original and blast white. Those white GSA Morgans presumably weren't dipped by the government before their sale.

    Possibly coins in really old rolls that were never opened might be as well, but I don't know how many of those are in existence.

    A whole BIG bunch of them have been dipped.
    Now, they look better than they did before they
    were dipped.
