vergasond New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 02/09/2017 09:55 am If your after toned coins which many people collect get the first one. Both are very nice coins and would be worth buying depending on price. Report this Post to the Staff

dd27 Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 02/09/2017 12:49 pm Hmmm is this like a Rorschach Inkblot test? ~~~ I love toned Lincoln wheat cents, and #1 is a beauty. Number two is also quite nice. ~ Mark P.S. When interpreting Rorschach responses, mentioning color has some interpretative significance, which is what made me think about the inkblots when reading this post.

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/09/2017 1:39 pm Grains of wheat look fuller on the second. A touch of Machine Doubling on the first? Based on eye appeal, I think I'd go with the first unless the marks on the second are superficial stains. Report this Post to the Staff
