[QUOTE="Breakdown, post: 811026, member: 19532"]Here's my thoughts including my views based on having them in hand. If I were forced to keep only one, it would be the 16-D, which has pretty peripheral toning that appears darker on the photo than in hand. It also has excellent luster for an early Walker. Purchased it from Steve at PQ Dollars, a great dealer to work with whose specialty is Morgans but also deals in Peace dollars and Walkers. The 39 has booming luster and the added bonus of a nice green gold toning that is pretty well distributed over the coin. I am very happy with the coin but the 39 is a fairly common date even in 67 and I could probably replace it without too much trouble. Finally, the poorly supported 29-S is basically white and has something in the right obverse field that is a bit distracting. Also a bit of a soft strike in the center (Liberty's right facing hand particularly). I would also place it third but it's worth noting it's the most expensive of these three coins. Todd's photos really captured these coins well. Thanks as always for the comments.:):thumb:[/QUOTE]
