When it comes to any of these Bust coins, I would more than likely buy them both if I could hold both of them in my hands(as opposed to viewing them on-line).
I realize you are trying to decide on just one but I am unaware of all of the factors involved with these coins.
Digital coin photos can be accurate as well as deceptive, whether intentional or not...
No matter what you decide just ensure that the seller is reputable and has a merchandise return policy that you can live with.

I prefer the look of coin #1. I think I know who seller #2 is.

Hard to compare, at least with respect to eye appeal.
The coins were imaged under different conditions.
Even though it's the lower grade, the "look" of the 2nd coin appeals to me more.

Coin #1 looks closer to XF than coin #2.
Coin #1 appears to have natural surfaces. Coin #2 does not appear to have natural surfaces.

I prefer #1 by a long shot but neither appears to be XF in the images. #1 looks VF+ to me with good eye appeal. #2 looks Fine+ with average eye appeal. Notwithstanding any value added variety I would go with $150 retail for #1 and $100 for #2.

I would go with #1. Better details looks to be high VF/XF compared to VF tops for #2. Better eye appeal for #1 as well. My choice #1 all day long.

Thanks everyone. The color of two is appealing but it did seem unnatural to say the least. The first coin looks nice. Thanks for the help!

I agree the first one is better, VF35+

Agree with IGE, VF-35 and VF-30 details.

The first I would grade VF-30, and the second, VF-20. I like the first one better, although the second one does have nice enough eye appeal.

#1 VF35. #2 May make VF20. Weak reverses are common
