I'll say PR67 CAM for this one too but could certainly be DCAM and even PR 68. A real stunner.

The obverse of this one is just incredible. I would take it over the 80, but either one would be such a nice coin to have!

 They're both beautiful but if you're choosing between the two, I'd take the 82. |

They are both absolute beauties! I like the condition of the '82 and the color on the '80. Would be a tough choice for me, too.
Might as well get both...!

Both great examples but I'd also go with the 1882. I'd put this one at PR66 CAM

PF68 on the 82. If the 82 is at 67, a super nice coin for grade. The 80 has a roughness look on the cheek, but I like the toning.

I don't think you could go wrong with either of these honestly if the prices are fair.

 the 82 is stellar. looks like a proof to me so I'm going with PF67. is it worth double the 81? unless the 82 grades PF68 I dont think so. would I choose the 82 over the 81? absolutely. |

I agree with what others have said. The 82 is spectacular. If you had not shown us that one, everyone would be commenting on how nice the 80 is.

My goodness! Those are beautiful proofs.
The CAM on the 1882 is more complete than the 1880, and that gives the 1882 better overall eye appeal. I don't think a direct price comparison is possible. There are many mid-60s generic proofs out there, but few real eye-poppers.
You know which coin "hits" you. You have excellent instincts for eye appeal and what fits your collection. Go with your heart here. Both of these are superb coins.

Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
