Poll Question
I'm stuck with starting a Morgan collection or a Peace dollar collection. Which one has the most key dates? which one is the most affordable? What do you prefer to collect out of these two?

Hard to vote, not knowing what you want to collect, what type of budget you're working with, condition you'd like...etc..  But the Morgans have more keys, is more expensive and much harder then the Peace, I'd say. Good Luck with which ever you choose. edit:Thought it was which would YOU choose... I vote Peace...You can put together a nicer looking set and a little more easily attainable Edited by Funny Money

Well, My budget isn't HUGE  But I can get a decent start on both from a morgan and Peace dollar junk bin. They sell for silver or alittle higher Edited by coincollect1

I say Morgan. You can find way more Morgans (common or rare) in the market than you can Peace dollars. Though Peace dollar is a shorter set to complete. |

I would say, collect whatever coin that you like more.

There are, I believe, 95-96 different Morgan dollars (1878-1921 including P,CC, O and S, not including VAMs) and only 24 different Peace dollars (1921-1935, including P,D and S, not including the ``all melted`` 1964 Peace dollar) so of course Peace dollars will be easier to complete. |

The Morgan design is more attractive, and is in that period of American history which I think more Americans know a little more about. I guess the reason for that is perhaps this period is more often taught in schools.

most key dates? . . Morgans most affordable? . . Peace my preference? . . Morgans I have the complete Peace dollar set and will never complete the Morgans yet they are still my personal choice. The key word is "personal". If you lean toward Morgans, a partial set will be more enjoyable than the full Peace set. |

I disagree..most Americans know very little about any period in our history...In fact, most Aussies know our history better than we do....IMO Oh and you should collect Bust Half Dollars....

Peace is the shorter set and much easier to finish for low $$$

Well, after reading some of these comments, I might go for the Peace dollar collection and finish it. I like the Morgan design way better, but so many of them and a lot of them a higher priced. But I will collect the Morgans if I can get them for the right price. |

For sure go with the Morgan dollar. If you know someone in China, you can get almost an entire collection for a sort of cheap price. Not sure but I don't think they make the Piece types over there. |

I voted Peace dollars. I think it would be much easier to assemble a Peace dollar set. I personally like both designs. I would try to do both though as they come along for you. There are some pretty $alty Morgans though to get a hold of. |
