First can you identify the unique nature of all three coins and then which would you choose..... Just for fun folks, I own all three of these so I'm just curios to see which you'd choose of the three and why..    |

All three are decent coins. The second one looks a little "mushy" all over and has too many contact marks for me. Liberty's face looks best on the third, but it has that milky, "trying to be a rainbow" toning that some people like, but not me so much. Put me down for the first one. I like the slight golden hue, the strike looks just about as good as the others and the eagle's head looks best of the group. Keep in mind that I don't have many Peace dollars and know little about choosing amongst them. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

All three are very nice. My favorite is #2, although I like them all.

I own one Peace dollar in my Type set album so take that for what it's worth. I like number two. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

I like the toning and overall appearance of #1, including the cheek. For me, #2 is a bit busy (light scratches?) and #3 might look great in the future. All three are very nice though..  |

Thanks everyone. VAM 1F (chin bar) has always been one of my favorite Peace dollar VAMs. #1 was a gift to me and the other two were found at mt lcs. I'm always looking for this one. |

I like the overall eye appearance of #1. John1  |

So, all three have the chinbar in various states. Number three is the most pronounced. All the coins are nice but I'm definitely partial to the first one.

I'm not into Peace dollars , but I'll choose #1 . Eye appeal and best tone . Edited by T-BOP

 All three of those coins are keepers but upon further examination #1 which would be my 2nd choice has the best toning but has a scratch that is very noticeable to the left of lady liberty on the obverse. Number 3 which has some toning but just starting would be my pick for No. 1. Coin number 2 is a very nice coin, just a bit better but not much. |

I like the third one the best because of its colour. But the first one would be a close second.  |
