Which would you rather ? 1 1

[Ohnoimbroke]

I'm flattered on wich coin I rather have . Feedback is wanted . 4 coins . Only front pictures . All certs are good . 

[Mr.Bill347]

I like the Standing Liberty. Harder to find in that quality.

[Hoghead515]

Go with the one you like best. But if I had a choice personally Id take the Walker. I have a soft spot for a beautiful lusterous Walker. The quarter is my next pick. 

[Ohnoimbroke]

If I really have to , I'm doing something like a 50/50 dice toss or ?? I'm thinking the standard Liberty quarter . Then comes the walking liberty . 

[Ohnoimbroke]

What about the CAC sticker on the mercury dime. Is CAC better than those "MAC" ..

[RWB]

"MAC: is a side dish, not a main course. "CAC" is salad, also not a main course.

Are you trying to decide which coin you prefer by appearance and collection "holes," or does money and profit potential come into play?

[Hoghead515]

MAC stickers are a joke. They give labels like, 90% full bell lines, almost full steps, etc." There no such thing. Its either FBL or its not. They are meaningless. A few sellers are slapping them on coins trying to scam buyers by charging large premiums for them. Beware of any slab with any kind of MAC sticker. 

Now CAC is the real deal. If its go a green sticker on it then its at the high end of that grade. If a gold CAC then it should be a grade higher than what the TPGs gave it. The stickers are just opinions of the people putting them on but they have a really good reputation. I guess they got a good eye for grading coins. They grade the graders pretty much. I know most the coins Ive seen with CAC stickers usually have brought higher premiums. 

But dont buy the coin just because the sticker. Look it over good and take your time and buy something you like and will be happy with. Good luck on your choice. I dont think you will go wrong with any of those choices if you can get them at a good price.

They are all lovely coins and I would be proud to have any one of them in my collection. Good luck my friend. 

[Coinbuf]

I'm not all that thrilled with any of the five, and I would never make a decision from looking at only one side of a coin.   But if I were to pick it would be the Merc dime because it has the CAC sticker which means that JA has seen both sides and like the coin.

I like the 1885 Morgan Dollar the most but at the end of the day it's your decision to make not mine.

[ldhair]

I'll go with the Mercury Dime. 

[Jason Abshier]

If it were me I was in bind or limited on money or if that’s all I could afford … I’d go with Mercury dime as well so count my vote in with @ldhair and @Coinbuf… old school PCGS holder with a bean on it ? Take it ! Over the rest …. If you do decide buy the green bean Mercury , contact me through private message I have another old school Walking Liberty with a CAC Green bean in my collection that was left back when I sold off 95% of my US coin collection and switched over to German coin collecting ….  I’ll happily let you make an offer on it to go along with the Mercury CAC if you’re interested anything to help a new collector out get on right track with some decent coins but not overly priced ,  it’s within your budget of the coins you showed in your post if it makes your day … It not like I’m really trying to get rid of it or anything like that , I may have an old school Mercury dime or two in old soap bar ANACS holders ANA holders I might let go too 

[Moxie15]

Get the one or ones you like best. For me it would be the quarter because I have the others in a like or better grade. 

If I had to rank them lowest to highest choice it would be

5. 1889 $1 I do not like the marks on the rim

4. 1943 1/2 $  not a huge fan of Walkers due to poor strikes, this one is above average though

3. 1885 $1 

2. The dime nice coin, better strike 

1. the standing quarter

None of these is bad, and I would have no problem owning any of them

 

[EagleRJO]

It all depends on personal preferences.  Forget about labels and stickers, and go with what you like.  I am partial to Morgan dollars so I would go with the 1885 (P) Morgan dollar even though it's a very common issue that is not worth very much.

[powermad5000]

Go with what you like. And if you like all of them and can afford all of them, then make the choice to buy all of them.

[Conder101]

Personal preference from most to least

Standing Liberty quarter

Walking liberty half

1885 Morgan
