Which to use TT points on?

I made a major buy within the last week that gave me quite a few points. I have just under 7000 points.
I have a few points expiring in less than a week. If I don't want to lose those points, then I need to use some points to buy something.
I don't care for the 2011 Redbook (have one).
I could get anything up to the MS64 Morgan (of their choice, either NGC or PCGS).
I could get 1 SAE (MS69, again their choice of plastic) and have enough points left over to likely get another one very soon.
If it were just about the money (silver value vs coin value), I think that would be the way to go, right? 1 SAE is worth ~$40+ right now, right? A MS 64 (common morgan) is worth somewhere in the $40s or $50s?
So, if I got the SAE and then had enough for another SAE pretty soon, I could get 2 of them (~$80) instead of using almost all the points for just 1 morgan ($40ish).
That all said, its never been just about the money/profit for me.....I am tempted for the morgan still.
Thoughts?

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Wow! I really hadn't kept up on the morgans for over a year now....that's pretty good then.

Are your points lasting for full yr. before expiry?
I seem to recall some guy posting recently, saying his points were not lasting the full year. Like 10 months instead, I think he said?

Points last for 1 year IFF you have a purchase within 6 months. So, if you have no activity within 6 months, I believe they will expire them.
Last year, this almost happened but I made a purchase on the cusp of the time period (I didn't realize the time issue then) and was just shy of points but one of the nice CSP gals reinstated my recently expired (talking a day or two here) points as a courtesy, and I used them.
Looking like the morgan (and, the MS63 morgan I got last year was a nice one as well).

They expire soon.
I had wished that the points could be moved around as well as a year+ ago, I didn't think I would ever be able to use mine (and I did have some just flat out expire) and I wanted to gift them to someone else as well.
Oh well.
I did just call and will have a MS64 morgan shipped to us. My son gets another coin for his collection
