Either one is really nice. I am not a fan of toning so I'd still prefer no toning.

Coin A. The reverse toning looks neater and more proof-like.

Coin A because I really like album toning. If it was not an option I would still buy Coin B as it has the type of overall toning I like to see on proofs.

Oh, you're giving one away? well I would take either, please. Thank you very much!

Not a toner fan. I guess coin A looks better to me

You offer the most outrageous choices.

Coin A is my clear favorite and the superior coin. I would hope it to be at least a grade point higher than Coin B. B is no slouch, though, and I could see it in my collection.

I have to go with Coin A as well, the rim toning being more appealing than the spotty tone on the second.

I said more appealing. On its own, Coin B is still a keeper if it were the only choice.

Yeah, coin A is a lot easier on the eye.

I like A for the eye appeal, but I think B is going to grade a bit higher for the strike.

I"m a toning koo-koo. I love them both! But I'd take #2 I think over the first one simply because it's unusual toning.

I chose B because I don't like the dark toning ring running through liberty's head in A. I think if it was just the reverse, I'd pick A.

I choose coin A because it looks more attractive to me. The toning on coin B looks more mottled/disturbed, although it does have a better strike.
