Thank you so much for all the input! I'm so glad I found this forum.
Quote: Moe145: I never would have upgraded from the first one
Usually just whatever I come across I compare it to what I've already got, fill any holes I don't have, and keep one of everything.
Kinda like catch and release. Sometimes you throw back some real nice ones.
I'm going to try to stop by a long time friends coin shop sometime before the weekend is out and see his opinion in hand on the 'dipped' possibility. Right now, I'm sticking with #2 unless it's been dipped. Main reasons: Eye appeal, much more head detail on #2 under magnification, and #1 has a dark un-natural streak across the coin coming from the lower right side.
One more side by side: High exposure: Low exposure:
Went to the coin shop today, they agreed, the brighter SLQ had been dipped. Less wear on it though, plus sharper strike. Still can't decide. I'll be listing whichever I don't sell on ebay this weekend.
Since these are so close, I do like the brighter one for the full head and stronger shield. I've listed the toned one on ebay. Thanks for everyone's input.
