southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 9:11 pm I have neither, YET. I wouldn't just set my mind on one or the other, although if I had one of each to only select one, and they were very compable in quality, bag marks, amount of circulation, etc. I would probably select the O. Personally, I do not buy my Morgans to fill a hole. I have to like the coin overall, brillance, strike, boldness, clarity, clear fields, minimum of bag marks, if any, usually no tone as it does not appeal to me. I also do not care if its slabbed or not, I prefer raw, although I have NGC and PCGS, I do not care and place no value on one of these slabs with a 63,64, or 65 on it. Most coins look horrible even with these grades. Stick to buy the coin, not the slab. Good Hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5619 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 9:18 pm The question you put forth requires IMO, a personal preference, I personally would go for the "S" I have seen them both in Mint state, I just like the 1895-S Morgan, the price is also out of this world, if you were to buy say a Mint State 65-66 PCGS slabbed coin. If you were like some people I know, and obtained these say 30 years ago, you would of stood some chance of NOT paying near that much, Good luck...PS, If you fill holes, like I and collect types also, buy them because you love the look or for what ever reason, enjoy yourself.....

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5619 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 10:50 pm Also I did not mention, the "S" minted coins are of a lower mintage, which does not support the price between the both, but any coin, from the Granite Lady is a very sweet coin to behold, just my opinion.....PS, I also like the New Orleans struck coins, but have this attraction towards the S mints coins, which were and are known for the quality, in both strike and a crisper looking coin produced. put into their coinage, at least before the 1990's.....
