no one kept any records of how many were melted in the early 70's and 80's. There were allot melted and I have heard horror stories of dealers shipping Morgans by the bags and the way they talked I am not talking one bag at a time, they say they would ship 100 bags at a time. Now just think, there are 1000 Morgans in a bag times that by 100 that is a whole lot of Morgans in each shipment and this wasn't the only shipment they sent. Some would have shipments once or twice a week. There are still allot of them out there but allot of them were definitely melted when silver was $30-$50 an ounce back then
