  The first one. It looks XF to me, and I don't like the overdipped look on a couple of the others..

  #1 - plus you get the OGH bump.
  
  From the photos, #1 looks the most crusty - and may make 40 IMO.

  What is behind door number 1 is still in that green holder because it is overgraded. Door number 4 is the right coin out of those 4.

  I'm with the majority here ... door number one...
  
  IMO...if we were looking at 4 common date Morgans, the only one that would probably holder is #1... the rest would BB as cleaned...

  I also chose #1 because the others either looked lifeless or dipped out. #2 looks like atotally different grade to me. I've seen nice looking 93-S's all the way down to VG-8, which means they looked 'natural' or like an old circulated coin is supposed to look. Coins 2, 3 and 4 remind of what many Bust Dollars look like in that grade when they've been dipped out (and still in the top TPG holders too). My least favorite? #4 - it's the most lifeless of the bunch.

  i agree with most above, 1 is the nicest looking. the others look cleaned or dipped possibly long ago.

  I'm in the 1 crowd...to me, a nicely circulated Morgan with good color can be just as beautiful as an Unc. I can't believe the others made it into holders- they all looked old-time cleaned to me!

  Door #1. Without a question is the coin for me. The others look all washed out. Actually I think Coin #1 is just a better coin period.

  Coin 1. It has the details of an XF coin but does have some marks on the face.
  
  The others are not orignial looking. Second choice would be coin 4.

  Whatt impresses me about 1 is that the breast feathers are not worn entirely flat like in some of the other higher graded ones

  I don't know technical grade from squat on circ morgans, but from an originality and aesthetic perspective it's easily #1. All the others look like dipped out POSs...

  #1 besides the originality issue, the other three all look like they have more wear that the first one

  I agree with the above, #1, I would grade XF40 and like the surfaces. The holder is only a small secondary bonus, the coin itself looks better than the other 3.

  Coin 1 for the originality and eye appeal. The others aren't even close. Anyone who doesn't pick #1 in this scenario, I have to wonder about their eye for truly nice coins.
