because of the pictures provided I voted on the right, because I could read the VDB with the naked eye. I'm a bit weird from most I guess, I like a coin if I can see the devices on it easily, then that is all that matters. The one of the left I just cant see the VDB on it at all in the picture. Not saying it isn't there, just thats how my eyes are.

I absolutely love the color and eye appeal of the one on the right, and if I had the money, I would purchase it in a flash! However, that isn't to say I don't like the other; I would be more than happy to own either one.

Interesting how evenly the opinions are divided. I often think the same goes with the stars and pluses given for toned coins by TPGs. More a matter of personal taste and preference than merit.

I like the right for the detail. The color of the left is attractive though.

left 62
right 65
Rest in Peace

Yeah, this is a matter of preference on what color you like your Lincoln Wheat cent. I too like would take full mint red over the 2 shown. but the answer to your question; the one on the right. color more uniform . the left one is what I would call too much Color Chatter.

I voted for the one on the right. The fields look cleaner, especially on the obverse. The color just strikes me as a better look. And there is more detail in the hair on the right coin. I can't grade them but the one on the right is higher, I think, possibly a 65.

I like the one on the right more because of its colour.

I picked the left. Was going to pick right until I saw the thumbprint on bottom of the reverse.

Right. For the gorgeous toning. Fingerprint is a bummer but it's still has great eye appeal.

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.
