Large coins are intrinsically more desirable because they have more room for the design.</li> <li><b>Beauty. </b>It has an design considered attractive by many.</li> <li><b>Availability of nice pieces. </b>It was minted in great numbers, but most were never circulated. Thus, there are many in excellent MS condition. There is no other American series where one can have so many coins 110 years old, in great shape, for low $$$.</li> </ul><p>None of those factors change over time, so Morgans will likely always be popular.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Are there fewer Peace collectors ? If so, it&#039;s worth pondering why... and whether any of those factors change over time. If so, perhaps Peace dollars are undervalued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
