I ended up taking the 2nd (the one with the CAC sticker) , and I think I made the correct decision. The seller seemed to have severely overexposed the shots.

It's a really nice coin with amazing luster on the obverse - I forgot what it's called but it looks like a bar of light that twirls in a circle as the coin is tilted up and down.

Thanks for helping out, CCF.

Yes, that looks much better. The term you are looking for is "cartwheel luster."

Ah, thanks Type, that's the word. I had a little brain freeze there.

"Severely overexposed" is right. You made the right choice. Your pics make the 2nd coin look more like the 1st coin from pg. 1!
