Poll Question
My next purchase, I've decided on slabbed Morgan, but I can decide on which of these two I like better. Both are about the same price: This one is ANACS slabbed with a MS-62 grade VAM 22 R-3 Bright White  This is also ANACS slabbed, graded MS-63 VAM 1A.2 R-4 Champagne toning  There's only a difference of $5.00 between the two, so the prices are not a factor in my decision at all. What do you all think?

I'd take the higher-graded coin simply because the grade is higher. Neither are particularly rare in Mint State, and neither VAM is a value-added feature. |

I'd take the first one because I think it has more eye appeal. However, I would hold out for something more toned.

I like the tone on the Pilly coin. the fact that it is a grade higher is just icing.

I would also choose the higher grade one also. Though if it were me I would buy both.

The frosty appearance of the MS63 is more appealing to me.

(Why not just get both?) That would blow what I have left in this month's coin budget, and if I see something else I may want I would have to wait until next month and it could be gone. |

Okay, first thank you to all who gave their opinion on this decision.
My choice will be the MS-63, not so much because of the higher grade on it as much as the attractiveness of the champagne toning on the rim. As I said in the beginning there's only a $5.00 difference in price between the two coins and that is not a factor for me.
Again thanks everyone.

I prefer the bright white coins over coins with toning.

Everyone has their own preference. When it comes to older coins like Morgans, Trades, SLQs, Standing and Seated Libertys, I like natural toning when it's present. It lends some character to the coin I think. |
