    So I am trying to pick one of these morgans out. All of them are MS65's and all have good and bad things about each one of them. Which one do you guys think is the best? Sorry the pictures aren't better, I had to borrow them from the sites where they are for sale.

    Every reverse is paired with the obverse above it.

    Why ask me which one I like? You should ask yourself which one you like!

    I know which one I like, but the coin is actually for someone else so that's why I wanted to get a small consensus.

    Oh, I get it! If they don't like it, you can blame us.

    I guess I like the '79-S with the edge toning. Spices things up a bit.

    The images were not displaying with the obverse above reverse for me.

    Coin #1 looks like an MS 67 obverse to me, (most important side) probably the one I'd roll with.... I like the 4th '79s (Toning) and it appears the '83o is a proof like obverse luster bomb..... Definitely one of those 3

    Coin 1 is my favorite too. I think it just got 65 because of the contact on the Eagles breast. Definitely a super clean obv.

    I like the '99-o or one of the first two '79-s Morgans.

    Is it in an old holder by chance?? Ms65 slabbed Morgans are going for around $170 right now in my neck of the woods. If you can get it for less than that, I say buy it yourself and get your buddy one of the others!:troll:

    The 1883-O has got some PL qualities. Then the last 1879-S. Coin No. 1 seems to be the cleanest.

    I like this one a lot, it looks like a nice 66, not a 65

    The 1st 1879-S is very nice....that 3rd coin looks like it has a hole at 9 o'clock, stay away from it....the 1899-O looks nice....I'm not a toner fan but the 2nd 1879-S isn't bad if that's your thing....I like the 1881 in the 2nd batch but the 1879-S below it is tough to visualize since the picture has that "stock matte" look to it as opposed to the other shots above it that show the whole coin and surrounding area, light reflection, etc.

    I like coin 5 the 79-s with edge toning and a pl obverse. And I like the pl 83-0

    I also, but then I usually choose a little color. A bit of a shave on the nose, looks like. But I like the overall look of it.

    On just a cursory lookover, for some reason the surfaces of the 99o are sticking out like a beautiful sore thumb in that lot

    Definitely NOT the one with giant spots on the obverse. Blech.

    Hard to pick among a bunch of coins that were all photographed differently, but I like the 99-O or the 79-S that K2Coins reposted.
