Coveted star designation for superior eye appeal.more significantly, each graded coin in the collection has received NGC's Every coin is encapsulated with the pedigree Battle Creek Collection, and, even out of original mint bags that had not seen the light of day for many decades. Among this group are coins that represent the very finest toned pieces to come original group of Morgan dollars possessing exceptional eye appeal. Included
ORIGIN OF THE BATTLE CREEK COLLECTION
The coins of the Battle Creek Collection resided in ten $1,000 bags. Until March 1964, it was possible to redeem silver certificates with US silver dollar coins, and many collectors thus acquired original bags of Morgan dollars. The Battle Creek Collection bags were tagged with both original Philadelphia Mint tags and seals dated 1885 (2 bags), 1886 (2 bags), or 1887 (6 bags). Additional each had a supplementary tag from the Detroit Branch of the Chicago Federal Reserve bearing dates in the 1920's. The bags had resided in the estate of a collector, and upon his passing his executor invited several coin dealers to make purchase offers on the group. The bags were sewn sealed, and dealers present were required to bid "blind," meaning they could not examine the coins prior to purchase. The bags were slit in their presence to prove that they did, in fact, contain silver dollars. "The coins were truly spectacular. There was no way to know that this was a toned dollar deal when I bought them." Interestingly, one bag of 1887 dollars contained a small number of 1904-O dated coins, and Steinmetz believes that these coins were added to a partial bag at the Federal Reserve bank in the 1920's. Steinmetz also kept the original bags and seals as a memento of this unusual group of coins. (Editor's Note: more photographs of bags and seals will be made available shortly as part of this release on the NGC website).
The grading result also was indeed unusual. Of the 10,000 coins submitted, 1,359 were awarded the NGC star designation for extraordinary eye appeal. These stars were awarded to both rainbow toned coins and coins that exhibited other special features such as one-sided Proof like surfaces. Additionally, 247 coins possessing original color but grading below MS 63 were also separated from the main group by NGC. At the time of grading, the NGC star designation was not assigned to coins grading below MS 63, and these coins were graded
as Brilliant Uncirculated. NGC grades a number of original bag deals of Morgan dollars every year, and has graded over 2 million Morgan dollars in its 20-year history. Although the dates and grades represented in the collection were in a general sense common, never before had NGC encountered such a great abundance of coins with exceptional eye-appeal from a single group of ten original bags. The 1,606 coins with special attributes were thus segmented. Owing to the spectacular richness of the hoard, the submitter requested a special pedigree for

Among this group are coins that represent the very finest toned pieces to come original group of Morgan dollars possessing exceptional eye appeal. Included
ORIGIN OF THE BATTLE CREEK COLLECTION
The coins of the Battle Creek Collection resided in ten $1,000 bags. Until March 1964, it was possible to redeem silver certificates with US silver dollar coins, and many collectors thus acquired original bags of Morgan dollars. The Battle Creek Collection bags were tagged with both original Philadelphia Mint tags and seals dated 1885 (2 bags), 1886 (2 bags), or 1887 (6 bags). Additional each had a supplementary tag from the Detroit Branch of the Chicago Federal Reserve bearing dates in the 1920's. The bags had resided in the estate of a collector, and upon his passing his executor invited several coin dealers to make purchase offers on the group. The bags were sewn sealed, and dealers present were required to bid "blind," meaning they could not examine the coins prior to purchase. The bags were slit in their presence to prove that they did, in fact, contain silver dollars. "The coins were truly spectacular. There was no way to know that this was a toned dollar deal when I bought them." Interestingly, one bag of 1887 dollars contained a small number of 1904-O dated coins, and Steinmetz believes that these coins were added to a partial bag at the Federal Reserve bank in the 1920's. Steinmetz also kept the original bags and seals as a memento of this unusual group of coins. (Editor's Note: more photographs of bags and seals will be made available shortly as part of this release on the NGC website).
The grading result also was indeed unusual. Of the 10,000 coins submitted, 1,359 were awarded the NGC star designation for extraordinary eye appeal. These stars were awarded to both rainbow toned coins and coins that exhibited other special features such as one-sided Proof like surfaces. Additionally, 247 coins possessing original color but grading below MS 63 were also separated from the main group by NGC. At the time of grading, the NGC star designation was not assigned to coins grading below MS 63, and these coins were graded
as Brilliant Uncirculated. NGC grades a number of original bag deals of Morgan dollars every year, and has graded over 2 million Morgan dollars in its 20-year history. Although the dates and grades represented in the collection were in a general sense common, never before had NGC encountered such a great abundance of coins with exceptional eye-appeal from a single group of ten original bags. The 1,606 coins with special attributes were thus segmented. Owing to the spectacular richness of the hoard, the submitter requested a special pedigree for
the coins awarded star designations. He suggested Battle Creek Collection because of the geographic origins of the coins. The 8,000+ remaining coins were returned encapsulated without special recognition. because of the geographic origins of the coins.
