Assume that money is no object. HA!
Pick out two coins that you would consider buying.
A first and second choice.
Tell me why.
Reply with lot number.
All were sold by Heritage and all are PCGS AU-58.
I'll share my reason for asking in a day or two.

1st choice 3559
2nd choice 2939

My reason is eye appeal only.

First choice: Lot #2939, I like the peripheral toning

Second choice: Lot #3623 it has a lot of luster. The only problem I have with this one is the hit in the lower left obverse field, it appears deep.

2939 hands down would be my number 1. Number 2 would be a tie between 3559 and 3623 where it might just depend on the day for what I like better.

9444 was nice too for the blast white ones.

The first ones just have better eye appeal to me. Theyve already started to tone so it wont be a surprise how they change over the years with the patterns already there too

3559, the strike looks pretty nice and I like the color.
2939, same as 3559.

Er, well... All of them! The 2939 is the most attractive... In a sense.

The one that I was able to buy is the 8073.
Most folks like it. Many dealers have not even held one.
It has traveled with me four times to the NH Coin Expo.
I like it.
Seems like we all like different things. Amen to that.
Thanks everyone.

I'm going to come off as a cranky contrarian but I wouldn't want any of them - they just don't have what I call "the look", but that's just me. If I had to make a choice I'd select the first one and the last one from the list, but I'd be lacking in enthusiasm.

That being said, that's one tough date! To see 5 of them is astounding.

My #1 by a landslide is 3559 and #2 would be 2939. I love the toning and color on both but especially on 3559. These type of coins I find ready buyers for cause they love that toning that looks like antique silver and it is obviously original.

Congrads on your WIN --- If you regularly push $500+ Non Gold material you won't have any trouble selling this one if that's what you wish. If you build a collection of similar grade around this you are going to have one Andes Mountain of a set of Barber dimes when you get it done.
