    I like the SBAs, more of a traditional coin than the Sac and I wouldn't mind cherrypicking some pf70 type 2s...

    Let's not go that far. It doesn't take too much trouble to place a beautiful woman on a coin.

    SBA more traditional than Sac?

    Yes. Current coinage.

    yes, in terms of the manganese-gold look

    edit:also the SBAs can tone more beautifully than Sacs, but I do recall winged liberty posting a toned Sac that blew me away

    The way the Sacs and PD's are made is much cheaper than the SBA's were made. A circulated Sac is destroyed, while a circulated SBA can still look OK.

    Sacagawea since the SBA is extremely limited in design and variety.

    Sorry, but one out of four is only batting 250, and you know where that will get you in the majors.

    Plain Jane or not, at least the Morgan is 90% silver and 38.1mm.

    Are you including the "Full Talon" varieties for the SBA?

    Sad to say Chris it gets you quite a bit. Evidence: Adam Dunn A career .240 hitter who will make $15 million next season and the season after that.

    I agree a Morgan in the hand is worth 25 SBAs in the hand. I just wanted to point out that MLB is getting worse and that Adam Dunn gives me indigestion as a White Sox fan.

    Hehe I said Sac specificaly because of the Native american reverse and the new reverse for 2013 with the wolf, turkey and turtle (still do not understand why a turtle but I like it anyway)

    I'll go with the SBA over the SAC. Why do we make the SAC's again? We're already making way too many presidential dollars so why the need the SBA's too? Perhaps we'll drive over the fiscal cliff with a back seat full of SAC's and Pres. dollars.

    Making Sacs isn't the problem. Not using them is the problem.

    Easy, Sac. Nicest looking u.s. coin in circulation.

    SAC in circulation. I haven't seen one in quite some time and certainly none from 2011 and 2012.

    SACs. When I use the vending machine at school and drop a $5 in there I get either SACs, SBAs, or Pres as change and for some reason I like getting SACs over the others. They just look nicer.

    I don't know what that is, so I'm going to say 'no'. I was thinking just a basic set of year/mint mark.
