I'm looking at these two SLQ. One is MS, one is high AU. Price difference is about$50. Which would you get? A    B   |

Me too; the '30 is much more visually attractive.
If we think that, so will will your buyer, should you decide to sell at a later time.

The 30 has very nice eye appeal. 1930 is $108, and the 27 is $180. The 30 also has a lower mintage. John1  |

1930 all day, especially if it's cheaper!

Surprised you even had to ask us . The 1930 is hands down the better coin . Sharpen up on your eye appeal .  |

IMO unless you have financial restrictions ignore all coins graded in the MS-60 to -62 range.
In fact an AU-58 coin often exceeds the appearance of an MS-63 coin
The -58 generally has only minor rubs on the high points otherwise is could have been an MS-64 or higher.
A -58 generally has what's known as "cabinet friction" and is called a "slider".
I think from this you can guess which coin I would recommend.

Definitely the 1930 - the 27 may be technically superior but the eye appeal is terrible. IMHO

Good for you. I think eye appeal is very important, and 1930 looks better!

Good choice. The only choice, really.

Buy the coin, not the slab.

1930
Many years ago I knew a dealer who specialized in AU "slider" coins. He told me that these were the best coins to buy: they looked BU in so many cases and came at a fraction of the cost.
