Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both..........is breaking all the rules
I am so torn between collectable, beauty and bullion. Maybe this is a 3-way? So torn where to put my limited funds.
Are you just stacking silver?
I prefer Morgans... just a throwback to when I was a kid.

They are both very similar, large, silver, dollar, classic design, tones well.
I consider the Silver Eagle to be the modern Morgan Dollar because of the above.
I will say that Silver Eagles are generally cheaper but can spot.
I am having a harder time parting with my Morgans than my eagles they were the first to go and very quickly. But then again sometimes the things you have the hardest time parting with are the things you need the least.... so hmmmm I guess I am not able to answer your question. What was it again?
I am a big sucker for DMPL morgans.
agreed I am stacking silver. admit a new eagle pleases me more than a worn Morgan or an ms65 Morgan. A toned Morgan of any year makes me horney
naturally morgan's of any date and mint i find very attractive. Weird
fetish?
naturally toned
Either or
Apples to oranges for me, Morgans are history in the round. ASEs are great looking bullion. Peace Roy

Morgans are interesting and have lots of variety and history . Eagles i find boring and are all pretty much the same to me. If you are stacking though does it really matter?
I like them both... Nice big silver coins.... old/new..... Both are great to own and enjoy. Cheers, RickO
For silver stacking, I prefer ASE.

Just chip away with both....
It’s not like one or the other is going to get jealous...
Variety is the spice of life.

Eagles are nothing but boring bullion.
For stacking; I prefer Silver Eagles.
For history, rarity and numismatic value; I much prefer Morgans.
I'm the guy who would never spend thousands on a low-mintage, MS or PF 70 Silver Eagle.

Morgan dollars are real collectables coins with history behind them. Silver eagles are just bullion. That shouldn't be a big decision.

Morgans are HISTORY. ASEs are just something to stack.

I'm old enough to have received my original 3 Morgans in commerce in my late teens. I was clerking in a 7-11in Texas in 1976 and some guy comes in and buys a case of beer with them. I immediately took 3 paperbacks out of my wallet for the register and 3 went into my pocket. Decades later I still have them. All 3 are pretty common dates. However, the way I acquired them in historical commerce has always been special to me.
Haha! Just big and silver and my grandfather had a lot of them...

For those torn between these two, just try and make Peace...oh, now that's another fave!!!
and then I didn't want to ask it, but does anybody "like Ike?" I know, not even in the same class!
