Proof Seated Dime Decision - Which Do You Prefer?

Splotchy was my immediate thought when I voted.



If there was a smilie for "I Disagree" I would have opened with that. I feel the smooth toning on #1 is very similar to your avatar.

Ok, to wrap this up. Disclosure.

Coin #1 is already in my collection. Coin #2 is available and I was toying with the idea of getting it. It's a slight numerical upgrade so I was kind of on the fence. Sometimes an exercise like this can help me find clarity and I think this time it did.

It looks like the coin I already own won out 21 to 15 on the voting with lots of helpful comments as well.

I was leaning that way already but getting the groups opinion makes me feel better about my choice to stand pat on my current coin.

It's kind of like the numismatic version of a woman asking her friend "Do you think these pants make me look fat?" You pretty much already know the answer but are seeking validation. Maybe that's a terrible analogy, I don't know.

Thanks everyone.

Both look awesome when you catch the toning

BUT

What do they look like when you don't catch the color?

Some toned coins look dark or almost black until you catch the right angle.
