Poll Question
So I came across an opportunity to possibly change out one of my Seated dimes in my proof set and I'm kind of on the fence. I'd be interested in getting your opinions. Which of these coins do you prefer? Additional comments as to the reasons are very much welcome. Thanks.
Coin number 1
Coin number 2

I'd go with #2, it's a sister pattern of toning to your avatar!

How about get both, pick out which one you like better, and then send the other one to me?  |

The second coin, the darker tone is more pleasing to my eye.

My gut told me #2 so I went with it. I wish I had your problem.

#2, it has a cool in your face tone and a stronger strike on the high points as well as more contrasting devices.
Feel free to call me Will.

I actually prefer coin 1, but don't think you can go wrong with either one!

You bought one you liked. Do like the look of the one you have the opportunity to buy more than the one you already have? Is it an upgrade? If so, then buy it. If you can afford the second coin as a duplicate then buy it and have two nicely toned proof dimes.

Personally I like Coin #2 but I dont think the difference between the two is great enough to actually switch one out for the other.

I prefer the more even toning of coin #1

I like them both a lot, but I think I like coin number two slightly more  |

Both coins are great, and I wouldn't mind having either one in my collection, but I prefer the toning patters on coin #2. The votes are pretty interesting too. When I voted, it was about half and half.

NUMBER 2! I love the toning, its quite beautiful but you should only get what you want to. Looks like the voting is almost indesicive at this point, 13 votes for 1 and 12 votes for 2.

I prefer you don't give me such difficult choices. For me, the top coin. I prefer the subtlety of the toning to the splotchy garishness of the second. |
