During the 1950's through the early 1970's and possibly even later than that, untold numbers of these beautiful coins were dipped white by dealers because toning was considered undesirable thus reducing the number of beautiful and unique examples out there. These are true rarities with beauty that goes far beyond the numismatic heritage of the Morgan Dollar.

How Morgan Dollars Toned
Morgan Silver Dollar, produced from 1878 until 1904 and again in 1921 were in heavy supply and many more were struck than were required for circulation. Freshly struck examples were stored at the US Treasury in canvas bags until they were eventually released or sold to the public during the GSA (General Services Administration). Other hoards, including the Battle Creek and the Continental Bank Hoard produced many incredibly toned coins as well. These coins sat in canvas bags for nearly a century. During that time, the coins closest to the canvas of the bag or near the top of the bag were constantly bombarded by a minute concentration of sulfur. Sulfur was infused in the canvas bags in an attempt to reduce the damage caused by rats chewing on them. The silver reacted with the sulfur to form a thin film of silver-sulfide on the surface of the coins, which reflects and refracts the light so that we see the colors of the rainbow on the coins surface.
