Decisions Decisions...

Hi friends,

I’m facing a bit of a dilemma. I quipped with 510 a couple weeks ago that if i “booked my gig” then i would finally get a real Morgan Dollar. Now i already have several of them, but none of them are graded, and nor would they be designated very high if i were to have them graded. Read: none of them are very shiny.

So i booked my gig — hurrah! — i have been paid, and i already have a little credit with Hive account@silverd510 for an exchange we’re in the midst of. Now apparently 510 knows everything about high-grade Morgans, and a simple query to him resulted in having a brief, comprehensive and precise explanation returned in very few, yet well chosen words: like a 30yr experienced mechanic explaining how a carbuerator works...and holy hell — carbuerators are expensive! 😜🤣🤣🤣🤩

But boy are they nice.

So i’m thinking about it. But also, i have been carrying around the Peace Dollar that Hive account@summertooth sent me, this one ⤵️

And i keep on liking it more, and more! Now granted it is not as old as a Morgan, and there is something to be said for collecting American Constitutional Silver from two centuries ago, but damn if i don’t just absolutely adore the design!

And then 510 went and posted this!

Which featured this beautiful girl!

So now as i sit here deliberating whether to buy another beer and fondling my new pocket-piece i find myself torn...

Kickass Peace Dollar or kickass Morgan?

I’m sure ol’ 510 has forgotten more about Peace Dollars than most will ever know, and if he is only half as knowledgible about them compared with his Morgan science, then i know i’m dealing with the right guy. And, he’s funny as hell too and has a mind for others. So...

Peace Dollar or Morgan?

I wanna’ get a good one, and the history of the Morgan’s appeal to me — freakin’ 19th Century yo! — but i must confess i like the design of the Peace Dollar more. Hmmmm, and, yeah yeah yeah i know — totally great problems to have! But what would YOU do? I want to acquire a “gooder,” primarily for aesthetic enjoyment but also as a possible legacy piece for one of my boys, or failing that, a mere smart investment.

What would you do? Let’s say up to $125-150 usd. And although “buy 9-10 ounces of generic rounds” is possibly the smartest reply there is, that bit of cheeky is not what i’m looking for.

Gorgeous Morgan or Gorgeous Peace Dollar?

What would you do?

Cheers! from Hive account@thedamus
