Poll Question
Same grade (AU58)...both CAC approved...

So which do I keep for my AU58 type set:

The 1892 "AU63" with the cartwheel luster and a thick, golden skin...


Barber-Quarters---There-Can-Be-Only-One

OR

...The 1908-O toner splashed with gold and blue over strong luster?


Barber-Quarters---There-Can-Be-Only-One

Poll Choices
 1892 "AU63"
 1908-O toner

In most cases I am not a fan of the mottled toning so I had to go with 1892. However, feel free to send the 1908-O my way. I'll take care of her!

The people have spoken!

The 1908-O toner will accompany me to the Whitman show this weekend ... and hopefully will not be making the trip back. ;-)

I would much rather have a nicely toned AU 58 over a strictly MS coin
that has mottled toning any day of the week.

i chose #1 although I feel like to really make the call seeing the 1908 o in hand is probably needed. I have a feeling it probably looks better in hand.
