    I like the first one better for the value, but without seeing the reverses it's difficult to form an opinion.

    Difficult to say without seeing them in person. If I had to guess, the one in the OGH would probably be the most conservatively graded. Just don't let MOC get a hold of it. image

    The white balance appears to be set more accurately on the 1879-S, which is why I prefer it based upon these pictures alone.

    But I'd love to see the 1880-S in hand.
    When in doubt, don't.

    All nice coins. If I was just picking an obv for a sign or card, I'd go with the 1879 based on picture quality.

    For actually buying the coin, I'd want to see them in hand, but I think I'd ask to see the 1881 first, I bet it is a real looker.

    I like all of them do you need my address image Nice hard to pick one now i know why you have all 3 but if i had to #2


    Hoard the keys.
  • I like the 81s in 68DPL

    The top one looks familar (recent Heritage and I was the high bidder until recently). I was the high bidder on the 81s in 68DPL as well.

    I do have a 80s in NGC 68PL that is pretty nice and borders on DPL.

    the 79s in 68PL probably looks VERY nice in person but the Heritage picture does not show any surface marks. Maybe it would go 68DPL at NGC?

  • I like the 79-S of the three.

    Based on the pics the 79-s
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    79-s but I like them all, but the 79 appears to have no grazing on the portrait.

    I would have to say the 79-S.....

    If you don't mind, what is the price on these monsters?

    they are for sale at Heritage (at least the top 2 are)
  • #1 for me......

    What I find interesting is that I find image #1 and image #2 to be much more accurate and attractive as far as imaging goes. Others prefer #3 and believe that to me more indicitive of the overall look in hand....I gather. I love to image coins now and include that in my list of hobbies and I would not be pleased if I imaged a coin and it looked like the 1879-S as it looks like a cartoon to me?
  • going by pic alone #3

    I have to go with the 1881 s.

    The 80-S MS68 PL is showing a full cheek which means a very full strike. The cameo contrast is outsatnding as with the 81-S DPL. Killer looking prooflike Morgans like these are far and few between.

    Super nice coins Dragon.
  • I love them all!
