Which Would You Rather Have For $800?

If I had eight hundred dollars, I would not be able to buy either coin because the conversion from U.S. to Canadian dollars sucks.

But if I had eight hundred U.S. dollars, and I had to buy one of those two coins, I would go for the gold one since it is the only one that ships to Canada.

But if they both shipped to Canada, I would still go for the gold one. I mean, I would much rather spend that money on other things, but that does not seem to be an option.

Cleaned? No thanks.

I'd rather keep the cash.

gold

I would have to know why your wanting either of these coins.

- To fill a hole for a Morgan set.
- To fill a hole in a type set.

Or are you just trying to acquire some coins that may increase in value
in the future.

A problem free 1895 O Morgan in AU 58 can sell for a lot more than $800.
But ... AU cleaned coins in this date seem to be more common and sell
in that range .. or less.

I don't think either of these coins have that much of a chance of making
any big increases in value in the near future. Maybe the gold coin if
there is a big spike in the price of gold.

As for your question .. if I had to buy one .. it would be the gold.

If I had a choice of holding the $800 ... I would .. and wait for a better coin
to come along.

If I was going to upgrade the one in my Dansco...
I would go with the XF .. problem free .. for less

Nothing has changed here. I would still rather have two Seated dollars for the 7070.

Neither. The $1 isn't attractive to me, the $10 is overpriced.

There are so many great coins you can get for $800. You could get not one, but two nice Seated dollars. You could get an 1853-O no arrows Half Dime. You could get an 1867 dime in great condition. You could get a quarter eagle date that is actually scarce. You could go British and get my British dream coin, a 1765 threepence with less than 20 known. Really just give me the cash, there's better ways to spend it than on these two coins.
