Wow, that's a pretty harsh thing to say about people who prefer Peace dollars! I think it's kinder to say that they are simply "aesthetically challenged". Errr... you were talking about people who prefer Peace dollars, right? Edited by barryg 11/19/2014 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 3:57 pm Based on his overall coin designs one may think that George T. Morgan was "aesthetically challenged" when compared to other coin designers of his era. Had they not had the manufacturing issues with the Peace dollar design it could have been a beautiful coin but, there apparently was not anyone working at the Mint at the time that had the knowledge or experience to solve those issues.

MrMorgan Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 4:18 pm I am speechless. Notice my name isn't MrPeaceDollar, so my opinion may be a bit bias. I believe the better question is how can anyone prefer a Peace dollar over a Morgan! Not only does the Morgan dollar have an incredible history behind it, it is absolutely beautiful! Higher grade Morgans are simply stunning (I stare at my MS67 Morgans at least once a week). Though I do find the Peace dollar attractive, I don't think is even in the same league as a Morgan.

Yes, MS-66 or higher Morgan dollar are quite stunning especially in proof like or deep mirror proof like but, the fact is that the vast majority of coin collectors cannot afford such pieces and a mint state Morgan dollar becomes ugly real fast with a bag marked face. The same can be said of the Peace dollars. Report this Post to the Staff

scottk Pillar of the Community United States 767 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 5:50 pm Actually, the '64 Peace dollar can do that. Edited by scottk 11/19/2014 5:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coinlover168 Pillar of the Community United States 506 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 5:57 pm I like the Morgan dollar because of all the different provenances (Redfield and GSA especially) and types (VAMs,varieties, mints, key dates, etc.). I especially love the CCs. I think Morgans are much easier to find well struck in high grades and the PL and DMPL ones are just stunning. If you show me a Morgan and a Peace in the same grade, then I think they may be closer but Morgans have much better availability, luster, and generally better eye appeal.
