I like the one on the left better. The color is more appealing to me but I would be more than happy to own either one.

Left coin, I like the right coin but there's traces of a fingerprint on the reverse that bother me.

I voted the one on the right. The better strike (look at the definition in Lincoln's face and jacket!) wins out over a minor fingerprint.

Thanks for the input so far, since this is usually a once in a lifetime buy for most collectors, trying to decide which to have for my collection. I love toned cents. Both are graded PCGS MS65 RB but the one on the left has a CAC sticker. I was told the one on the right hasn't been sent to CAC. My main concern are the nicks on the collar, shoulder, O in ONE and the E and the N in CENT and it appears to have some wear on the high points on the cheek, beard, ear and hair on the one on the left when comparing the two, kind of make me inclined the one on the right is a higher grade. Therefore, leaning to the one on the right since it looks minty fresh and possibly resubmitting it as I think it may be a better coin. I think I could live with a Victor Brenner's 1909 partial finger print more so than the nicks and the swampy splatter look on the right side field of the left coin. I am not 100% convinced that is a finger print. Since this is a big decision, here are some larger photos.     Edited by Nelrak

I love violet toning, and I think it has a better strike, and notwithstanding the blemish, Righty is just beautiful That's my choice, as a non-expert.

Now for me, that carbon spot out in front of Abe's chin on the right-hand coin is a killer, especially on a 65 coin.

I like the one on the left better cause I like the looks of it better also seems to have more luster than the right one.

Wow, those new pics make it even tougher. I'm changing my vote to the one on the right. Even with the slightly distracting dark spot on the obverse, it's the better coin. The reverse is almost perfect. The one on the left has several hits.

After looking at the one in hand on the right, it's not a carbon spot, it's just discoloration. I went on and made on offer on the one on the right. :) The lustre is outstanding on it as well, it cartwheels with the best Morgans!

No question for me. The one on the right (or bottom on the 2nd group of photos)

Nelrak that one is out of my price range regardless of the price. Congratulations! She's a keeper.
