I'm gonna have to say 92 S, 93 S, or '03 S since so many are dipped to hell in an effort for upgrades since there is so much spread betweem XF/AU and AU50/53, 53/55, etc

'01-S can be pretty bad too. In fact, all of the 20th century SF Morgans are often bad.

I think he was talking about coins as released by the mint; any whizzed coin will qualify.

OK, but the 1884-S has to be the King for whizzed and altered coins made to look Unc.
Based on ugly coins straight from the mint, I change my nominations to the 1891-O and 1892-O for truly awful strikes; and the 1894-P, 1896-O, 1897-O, and especially 1901-P for dull, lifeless "BU" coins that have the luster of an XF-45.
I'd agree with 1904 too.
Haven't handled the 93-S, 84-S or 89-CC at all to really know.
As for 1899, well, I like the luster & look of mine:
