Something that does not help the RPM is that it is not a Trueview image.

That O/O really pops out.  |

If I were still adding to my collection I would advise you to sell the 1838 - - - to me.  My first quick look I liked the 39 with it's smooth gray tones. Then I looked at the higher res pics. The 39 has some black spots in front of the lady and above "TATES OF AM". Went to the 38 and  . The mottled toning gives it great eye appeal IMHO and I bet it looks even better in hand. |

1838 for eye appeal by a mile. But I am not a varieties collector, so the O/O doesn't matter to me, even though I agree it is cool.

The 1838 is more appealing to me, but I like nice toning.

I chose the 1839 because it has a nice circulated look. I also think New Orleans minted dimes are tougher to find in higher grades because they circulated extensively.

I'll buy the small stars if you decide to not keep it, just PM me if you're interested in that

I chose the 1838 because the toning and overall look is awesome.

For me the 38 is the clear winner for a type set, but on the other hand if you're building a New Orleans type....

The 1838 wins due to the awesome toning on it. Were they of equal coloration, then I would say the 39 because I love New Orleans coins.

I really like the eye appeal of the 1838 based on the photos. If it were me though, I would probably keep both of them  |

I pretty much agree with the above analysis: the 1838 has the best eye appeal and the O is the more striking variety. If I were only taking one I would go with the eye appeal.
