Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 10:37 am Poll Question So these are seller's photos, but was wondering other's opinions on which coin you would buy? They are both the same price. I kind of like the look of the first one better but then again the second looks slightly better grade. Trying to make use of the 10% ebay bucks. Thanks all!

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 11:51 am Yeah it seems like the obv of the first looks better, but the rev of the second looks better to me. We will have to see Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 12:29 pm Both coins are close to the same grade. I picked the second one (1935), Based on how I see eye . Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 12:34 pm Ah that is true @Type. I noticed the lines on the first one, but since I am not super picky I didn't really care too much about it. But then again, if they stay the same price, I might as well get an uncleaned one. The main thing about the second one is I never really liked how on the circ. cameo coins that half of liberty is lighter than the other half being darker. I don't know why, but rather liked a more uniform look all over. Thanks for the opinions everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 3:44 pm I'd go #2 original and nice. Number one also has a scratch on the obv near 8/9 o clock Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 3:49 pm Well for some odd reason I bought them both! The second one had one or two bids so I bid on the first one as well just in case I didn't get the second one. Paid $59 for the first and $70 for the second, which doesn't seem like too bad of a deal. I think I could get my money back by re-selling the first one though. Even though cleaned and scratched, an ok type coin for someone with a modest budget. Thanks for all the opinions! :D Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 4:06 pm Oh and with the 10% ebay bucks taken in account, the total for the 2 coins comes to $120 shipped! :D Report this Post to the Staff
stud722 Pillar of the Community United States 1088 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 4:28 pm I would go with the second. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 4:38 pm Definitely the second. Report this Post to the Staff

Dipper Valued Member 146 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 5:46 pm Hold your money for better coins! Neither of these is a circulated "original." Sharper photo of the 1835 will confirm this. If you MUST buy one, get the '35. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 6:28 pm #1 - approx. VF-20, definitely cleaned and starting to retone. #2 - approx. VF-30, possibly lightly cleaned but nothing serious. At the price you paid I would have gone with #2. Report this Post to the Staff
