If you are a compulsive collector : go for the gold coin
1895 O $10 gold Liberty.

If I was forced to buy one of those two, definitely the gold, and I'm saying that without even looking at the pictures.
I would rather prefer to get the money in cash, however (my family would really appreciate the infusion), or, failing that, buy some coins I actually need (or, at least, can realistically resell).

It's a choice between the lesser of two evils.

As a general rule I avoid coins with detail grades. John1  |

I am irritatingly frustrated by the poor ebay pictures. So frustrated, in fact, that I would feel forced to cop out on BOTH of them.  There are LOTS of other really nice $800 coins out there, that would be worth waiting for. |

I ain't touching either of them at $800. The Morgan is at essentially no discount for a cleaned coin, and a righteous AU58 1895-O Eagle sold for less than the asking price noted here, earlier this month at the ANA Signature Auction in Denver. |

Go for the gold! Doesn't look bad at all to me.

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.  |

Without looking at them, if I HAD to buy one, I'd go with the Morgan. Morgans don't really interest me, but don't like gold.

Cleaned? No thanks.
I'd rather keep the cash.

I'm checking out of this thread, which is like being on a merry-go-round.
