I only own three SL's but I like them a lot more than all the Morgans I own.

 

Seated Lib. Dollar since my cat even has some morgan dollars lying around in her litter box.

*cat reference is sarcasm for how common morgans are.

 

Seated. Morgans are butt ugly.

 

Seated liberties just look so much better than morgans (not that I would be dissapointed getting a morgan ), so I vote seated liberties.

 

Sorry gotta go Morgan on this one guys, I'm just too into the whole VAM thing at moment

 

When I think of dollar coins, I think of Morgans. That being said, I don't know which to vote for...someone should post a little propaganda.

 

Raider, is that 84-CC in a "Retro" holder?

In spite of the fact that I have about 180 certified Morgans, I voted for

Morgans.

Fooled ya!

No, it was slabbed about 2 years ago, but I think it would look real nice in one.

I actually just got a retro holder in the mail a few days ago. I like 'em, but I wish they didn't use the prongs, imo, it would look much better if the coin was flush with the black insert.

 

The reason that I thought it might be is because I saw those black tabs on the rim. I guess you "painted" the white tabs out. I think you're right, though. It would look better flush (like it was when they first issued them!)

VOted Seated as I already have and collect Morgans

 

The opposite more like. I just put the vote back into a tie.

I do like the SL reverse. But the Morgan is so cool, I forget what its reverse looks like, sometimes.

 

Morgan for the win!

 

Not so fast...I chose Seated's because they would be of a challenge and I'm this close to selling off my remaining (4) Morgans.

 

Yay morgans!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not so fast my friend...:eating:

Seated Liberty for me...

 

I voted Morgan for a similar reason that I vote against Barbers. Although I like the design elements of the Seated Liberty, there are too many denominations that share the same basic design. If this were a comparison between the Morgan design and the Seated Liberty design, I'd give my vote to the Seated. However, this is a vote comparing the collectible nature of the Morgan Dollar v the Seated Liberty Dollar. When the question is whittled down to that specific pairing, my hand is forced to tick off Lady Liberty, a la Morgan.

 

They are definitely a challenge. Everytime I see a nice one, it goes for over $1,000. Not many people can afford to collect these.
