Morgan vs. Peace

Hey all...

Which do you think would be cheaper to buy as junk silver with little or no numismatic value...Morgan or Peace Dollars?

XpipedreamR · January 4, 2004 1:23PM

My main dealer's junk silver box has many of both. Probably more Morgans because there's so many of them.

Answer.... JFK's or Franklins would be better suited for your purpose.

Don't listen to Stman - he sometimes loses his mind

No, I got my mind back in good shape when I quit collecting those hunks of bullion.

The best is whatever is the cheapest.

As was already said in one of my dealer's 'junk' silver box the Peace and Morgan dollars are the same price.

Why would you want to do that?

<< Why would you want to do that? >>

Because I love the feel and weight of a silver dollar

I like to have a stash of silver dollars around that I can actually touch and handle and they also serve as an emergency savings account because they can be easily and quickly sold for their silver content. All the silver dollars in my collections are slabbed and I wouldn't dare crack them out to play with them. Junk silver is perfect for that!

OK, I hear ya. I've got a stash of junk silver myself, but I stopped buying it years ago.

My YN club loves it for exactly the reason you described.

how many coins are we talking about here? a handful or several rolls? a bag?

if it's a roll or two just to jingle around, why not have half Morgans and half Peaces?

I prefer a mixed bag to just have around and run my fingers through:

because it's more fun to look through than all Morgans or Peaces or 64 JFKs or whatever, plus the big silver dollars don't really jingle so much as clink and clank. This stuff practically flows and I never get tired of looking at it, just have the bag sitting in a desk drawer, take it out every once in a while and pour em out, while all my really good coins have to live in the bank in individual plastic holders. Maybe you could just put together a mini-bag of say $50 face in mixed silver, some might even be a bit older..

Damn Dave, that looks exactly like my stash, except I've got some darkside silver mixed in as well.

Baley · January 4, 2004 5:53PM

darkside? are these dark enough?

don't get me started on my big bag of modern foreign from my travels over the past 20 years!

Both are the same price when you buy ones only worth melt.
