I'm more into the Peace dollars myself as finding nice BU coins isn't easy and the same as Walking Liberty's as both look like crap wore down to me.. also I always thought the idea behind the reverse of the Peace dollar was to give it a deeper look like 2D and the Morgan just doesn't have that look.

I'm with the OP on the Peace vs. Moran debate. I find the Peace dollar much more aesthetically pleasing myself. I also find the Peace dollar interesting in that it contains the holy grail of coin collecting (IMO) in the 1964 version.

The reverse on a Morgan looks like a logo for a heavy metal band.

Well, for me, it's about which women would you like to kiss!

Actually, I prefer the Peace dollar since the Morgan dollar is like the boring average car you see on the road everywhere vs. the stylish race car that makes you slack jawed. Now that I think about that adjective, maybe Miss Peace is slack jawed too? ; )

Peace dollars: lots of weak strikes, and are much less good looking in XF than Morgans.

Plus, when I was a kid and could go to the bank to get silver dollars, they seldom had any Peace - I don't think people liked them then either. Silver dollars were a popular kids. Birthday gift; they'd always be Morgans.

catbert that is a perfect example of a Peace dollar that I would hoard...

I keep hunting for that perfectly struck 1921. It's the perfect Liberty image, with full chubby cheeks and flying hair. But like pcunix says, most Peace dollars are weak strikes and the 1921's are the worst. Right out of the gate the coin was a failure, which is a shame.
