The second one, don't like the fingerprint on the reverse of the first one.

My paycheck was much higher than expected, so I got both.

Thanks all for your opinions!

They were $24 each.

My thought was that is was toned through fabric. Notice how straight the lines are. Fingerprints are curved. But it certainly has the look of a fingerprint color and texture-wise.

Good call.

Now you do not have to worry about the "should have, could have, would have" dilemma.

I got the cents today. I will be returning the first one. The luster is very subdued, and the marks are of a fingerprint. The seller took the pictures in the best possible light, and the coin looks much worse than the pictures. There are also several scratches on the obverse that were not mentioned by the seller.

The second one looked much better that the photos. The luster is radiant and the color is a gorgeous deep red-brown. There are some marks on the obverse that will hold it to an MS-63. I will be keeping this one.

Ouch.

Good thing you got both. At least you know which one was the real keeper.
