Which 1895 Proof Morgan would you rather have?

TexasNationals

1895-P in cameo or the 1895-O in cameo?

Non Cameo P or O?

Can you make this a poll? I'll take the one in the Stacks Rarities sale!

ChrisRx

For the price these go for? Neither.

I'll take the proof 95-O that's in the Stack's-Bowers sale over a comparably graded 1895-P any day. The reason being that the former is much, much rarer, not to mention it's a branch mint proof, which in itself is cool.

IMO, 1895 proofs are a TERRIBLE value

I could not agree more.

TDN: Could you expand on this please? I'd like to hear why you feel this way.
Thanks

Because the trend is away from collecting proofs and circulation strikes in one collection - and toward collecting either/or. Thus the demand for 1895 proofs [and 1858 seated dollars, etc] will trend lower toward just that from proof set collectors. Since the mintage of each is similar to the mintage of all the other proofs for the set, the price will tend to fall toward the other dates.

either or

Definitely the 1895-O unless I was actively working on Proof Morgan Dollars and NOT include the branch mint Proofs.

Since I'm not actively working on a Proof Morgan set, I would take the 1895-O all day long.

TDN - Would you agree that the trend is also away from set building and towards collecting individual coins? And if so, how will that impact prices?

No, I wouldn't agree.
