Poll Question
Guess the grades if you want they are both graded by PCGS.

I could not decide. So did not vote.
I like the strike and eye appeal of the coin on the right better, but would not buy it because of the finger print.
The one of the left is ok ... but does not jump out to me.
Unless it was a killer price, for me .. I would not buy either one.

The coin on the left has wonderful color, very lively. Love it. Guessing 63/64 on both. Here's mine for color comparison:

First coin posted is a 63+ or 64 even. That second one though. Those fields are immaculate. This one I'm giving a 66 all day Beautiful

That 2nd coin IMO would be the a epitome of a toned SVDB...if it didn't have that carbon spot.

Wow, tough call. This is why I like brown cents. Well, that and the substantial cost difference.

I like the obverse of the 2nd coin and the reverse of the first. Overall the first has more appeal to me for wholly personal aesthetic reasons: I prefer it's red tones over the dark purple on the reverse of the second. The second, however, is a stunner with clean fields on both sides of the coin - and hardly a mark or ding anywhere. I would think it grades higher - but don't know if the fingerprint on the reverse (that doesn't really doesn't bother me on this coin) nocks it down a notch.

One on the right. More centralized color.

I voted the one on the left, although honestly I like coin 2's reverse better...

I suspect one could alter the lighting slightly and make the second look very much like the first, or vice versa. That's how toners are. Either way, I choose the hues and consistency of the right hand coin, ten times out of ten.

I choose the one on the left. Like the flow lines on the right side of the obverse.

 Somehow, the one on the left seems more natural and bright.
