Two options are missing from the poll, "I like both" and "I do not like either one." It would be very interesting to see how many votes these two options would get.

I am of the same opinion of the other member who said he was tired of seeing so many Morgans at a coin show. I do not like having to try and find a dealer who did not have multiple display cases full of Morgan dollars and hardly anything else. The perfect ratio for me would be one mixed case of Morgan and Peace dollars only and at least three cases of other denominations from both the 19th and 20th centuries.

Don't LOVE either one, but like a more complicated sharper strike (Morgan) coin in general, as opposed to the simple weaker (Peace) strike coins.

I thought about those options, but decided to run it as is. You have to pick one, even if you collect neither. Flip one (or the other) if you cannot decide.

I like both, but I prefer Morgans over Peace dollars as I just love the classic design (perhaps I'm biased because the designer was from England!) I also think a Morgan looks attractive even in worn condition whereas Peace dollars start to lose a lot of detail once they get below about EF - the word 'PEACE' is very prone to wearing off.

For me it depends on my mood at the time I need to decide. It could be I don't like one and not the other or I like both.

I am sort indifferent to both designs as I am not really a silver dollar collector per se. Because I have and will buy either one if I really like the coin. I just don't actively collect either series.

Come on Peace dollar people!

We've only got 35% of the vote.

Time to start stuffing the ballot box!

Morgans all the way! Way more interesting varieties than the Peace Series.

One of my favorite Morgan Varieties;

Morgans for me, but I really like the Peace dollar too. I prefer Peace dollars that look like Raymo's '21 above.

I started out as a Peace dollar fan but after time Morgans kind of "grow" on you. I collect both but if given the choice, I'd grab a Morgan over a Peace dollar.

I prefer the Morgan dollars by a fair margin.

I love the morgan reverse, I just love how crisp it is. However I voted Peace dollars. Everyone loves morgans and maybe that's why I lean towards Peace dollars. I like the less subtle details and I love the obverse and reverse.

I'm not particularly fond of either, Lady Liberty looks particularly ogre-like on the Morgan dollar in my opinion. Though I find the obverse of Peace's more attractive, the reverses on Peace dollars always have such low detail. In the end I have to vote Morgan just because of the variety.
