Both are at the same price (but I will try and work out a deal with the seller though). As the title says, which of the two do you prefer? Thanks guys! Magnus Maximus AE2's with emperor standing raising female reverse   |

I like the first one. It seems that the surface is more uneven but I would like the one with a little more detail on the submitting figure.

Definitely the top selection. Better eye appeal

I like the detail of #1 better, I like the color of #2 better. It's going to be a tough choice for you.

They are both nice coins, but agree the first one is the better.

I like the reverse on coin #1, but I like the obverse on coin #2 ... => looks like you'll have to buy them "both"  |

Sure was quick! I appreciate your opinions and have decided to go with the consensus: coin #1 it is!  Yeah, the fact that the first coin's obverse and reverse are both complete as opposed to the second coin having a chiped and worn reverse helps in its appeal IMO. Quote:

Ok so the seller responded back. Original price: 46.50 shipped and I sent an offer of 36 shipped. Seller came back at me with $40 shipped. I was hoping to avoid $40 or above but having a hard time deciding since I really like the coin.

I know you've already decided, but I go along with the pack on this one. Coin #1!

That other coin might be available if he didn't purchase it.
The next emperor in line is Flavius Victor. Unless you already have it those coins can be expensive even in low grade.

 Still nothing. I hope he isn't ignoring me at this point... |
