Post your favorite Morgan Dollar.

Ok, I know that you folks have a favorite child. Admit it! Let’s see the Morgan Dollar that you love the most. Ok, here is mine. As you notice, I had posted this here on Cointalk almost a decade ago, from the Cointalk archived files.. Here are the pictures from when I bought it. It is in a safe deposit box, in the bank, with my 1893s. It is a PR 64 PCGS. I actually like it better than my 93s.

or maybe this one in my 7070

 

That's like saying..."Post a picture of your favorite child".

There's a recent Discussion Thread on Sunsets. Your Proof Dollar would fit right in!

 

Hard time narrowing it down to only one. Can I post 8-9x?? I think I narrowed it down to these two --


1904-O MS65. Common date but one of my cleanest, crispest Morgans.


1883-O MS63+DMPL. PL and DMPL always fascinated me and this is my best example to date.

I also have an exceptionally cool NGC GSA 1882-CC MS64 which came in a very close 3rd place. On my long term wantlist: proof Morgan and a GSA DMPL CC.

 

It's like picking your favorite child - hard to do. I like coins that look like they had to work for a living. So. I'll just put a nice working coin out there.

 

@Morgandude11

Sorry...wrong thread.

 

I agree, coins that did a bit of work look great, imo

 

MD, I think you led me to this coin years ago. It's an 1884-O MS64 DMPL CAC.

It's my only DMPL:

 

Does it seem like the reverse is tilted a bit?
Either way I dig the toning even tho it's not monster.

 

Since the title says "Dollar", I have to post multiple pictures to equal $1 worth of Morgan design:

 

Obverse of the first and reverse of the second.

 

I remember. You were looking for a nice DMPL, and I saw this one, and sent you the info. Beautiful coin!

 

This it's at least AU nice coin it's been in my family for 50 years or so my grandfather probably got this as change one day still have the worn yellow 2x2 it was originally in

 

Yes, thank you !! I think you gave me a lead on 2 coins and one of them you thought the price just got too high. Or maybe I found one that the price was too high in your opinion.

Had to be 4-5 years ago.....

 

At least 4-5 years ago. I thought it was undergraded back then, and I still think so. It is definitely a 65 to me, with great eye appeal.

 

Well, it's already got a CAC bean so I really don't want to play the crack-out game with it. It's not mega-$$$ and I'm not selling anytime soon anyway.

Still, nice to know it's probably very solid for the grade or maybe even 1 grade low.

 

Yes, I got a lot of my Morgans at the bank for $1 each. And sometimes we would get them in change.

 

I only have a couple. It would probably be this one I acquired from Skyman a few years ago.

 

Same here, not trying to complete a set, but I am adding Morgan toners to my US collection from time to time. In higher MS grades with PL surfaces and/or colors they’re kind of pretty. Like this one:
