I prefer the Peace dollar because I am a "set" collector and a set of Morgans just isn't possible for me. I can put a set of Peace $'s together without too many stumbling blocks  |

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.

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. |

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!  Edited by scottk

Morgans all the way! Way more interesting varieties than the Peace Series. One of my favorite Morgan Varieties; 1921-D VAM-3A Wing Dot  Don't just say what you prefer...show it! Edited by oih82w8

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 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. |
