I say flip a coin.  I'm sorry, that was terrible. Seriously, keep the one that you like the best. Since you said that the rim damage on the left isn't as bad as it looks in the picture, I like that one. |

I like the detail on the obverse of the one on the left, but what's going on with the reverse? It looks like the rim is all dinged up & the right half of the wreath looks like it has problems. I also have to question the color on that one. Based on these pictures I'd keep the one on the right.

I missed something here. Is there some reason you can't keep them both? If they are already yours, keep them both. Very close to call but the one on the left appears to have more details overall. But again, why not keep them both. In most MS grades they both would be around $30 to $45 so why not keep them both? I suggest you get two Dansco or Whitman Albums and put them both in the Albums and start a dual collection of them. Or you could get one Whitman Album for those cents, purchase additional pages for Cents, put in the same Album in the back for duplicates. Keep the one you think is best in the front. So again why not keep both?

If you're "collecting" and can afford to keep both of them, keep both of them.
Also, while the detail might be better on the left one, there is more damage to the left one, too.
my opinion(s) only.

I think just_carl meant to say... quote:

Carl, because most of us sell our duplicates to afford the ones we don't have yet! Edited by Vaslin

Wow, $35 - $45? I totally underestimated the value of these coins. I paid $1.00 each for them last week. I got 100 IHPs for $70 plus $4 shipping. It was based on a price of $1.00 each for 50 circulated and $.40 each for 50 culls. These weren't even close to the best coins in the bunch!
I was planning on using one of these pennies plus about 10 other halfway decent IHPs as the eye candy in a lot of 88 primarily G, AG, and cull IHPs. I was going to ask $100 plus shipping for all 88, but if that one coin is worth $40 alone, maybe I should hold it back when I sell.

That's for uncirculated. Yours are worth about what you paid.

Oh, ok. I figured they were worth about $2 - $3. Got my hopes up for a second there! LOL

I'd keep them both if you could.

Keep the one on the left, more feather details and some ribbons show. I think the one on the right has been cleaned. Still they are worth maybe $3-4 each because Liberty is showing. I think the price you pd was pretty good. I have a hard time getting bulk lots of decent grade IHC for under $1 each. 74 cents each is pretty good, as long as the culls are not major dogs. |

From the 100 coins that I bought, I filled 1880 - 1909 with just 6 holes (1882, 1885, 1886, 1894, 1908-S, and 1909-S. 14 of the coins I kept have full liberty. I kept an additional 4 IHPs from the bunch because they had gorgeous toning and full or partial liberty. Of the ones that I dont' plan to keep, the one posted above is the best of the bunch. There are a few others with full liberty, but not quite as nice. Some have partial liberty and a lot are worn. There are a few really yucky culls, but most of the culls are still clean enough to examine. I'm new to collecting and don't want to become a hoarder, so I'm working on just keeping one book.
I came very close to starting toned-only Lincoln books because I have a lot of pretty ones, but I think I'm going to just sell all of those too. That would become way too expensive, because I'd always want to upgrade.

Both. I'd keep both, but if I had to pick one I would pick the left one because it has more detail.

Thanks everyone. I kept the left. It would be too easy to become a hoarder and keep everything, so I'm not gonna start that.

I was going to say put one in the 7070 and one in the IHC album. I like the rim on the right but I don't think you could make a bad choice on those two. |
