Since I have 3 piles of nickel dollars on my desk I decide that I will just keep the best one of each year/variety and trade or sell off the rest. There are a few that I can't decide on. I'll post them each year a thread to not confuse people. Tell me if the pics are too horrible, I'll try again tomorrow not under artificial lighting. Coin 1   Coin 2   Which one is better? |

Bottom one - compare the number and size of the hit marks on the effigy.

Since I left before it was bright and it was dark when I returned I guess better pics have to wait until tomorrow. For now I'll just turn them around in the light and see if I can decide.
Is the obverse more important in determining the grade of the coin?

In the first set of pictures, #2. In the second pictures, #1. The marks around nose and eye on #2 are more obvious in the second pictures.
