Two for grading. Which do you like best, and what do you grade it at? Thank you as always for all of the kind help and insight!   |

coin 1:
obv xf40
rev xf45
coin 2:
obv au50
rev vf 35 weak strike
Coin 1 has an ok obverse but a great reverse. Look at the feathers, leaves and arrowheads.
Coin 2 has a great au obverse and a weak reverse with vf sharpness.
Ideally the reverse of coin 1 and obverse of coin 2 would be best. That's what I would look for, but if you like it and the price is right, I wouldnt be unhappy with coin 1. Coin 2 has two much of an imbalance between obverse and reverse.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I would go with coin 1. Better toning and attractive. Coin 2 has ED @ 12 o clock on the reverse.
It's a no brainer. Coin 1 is au-50. Coin 2 is a piece of crap.

Thank you all for your opinions!
I am going for the 1st one. What would you be looking to pay for it if you had to buy it? Thanks for all the help!

I've seen both coins Steelers and you are buying from the right guy! His website and sale list is a great resource and you'll learn a lot just going through his listings. Can I offer an alternative? I like the 1835 PCGS LM-10 better for overall eye appeal. its more expensive though so that plays into it but it's been on my radar for some time. These are tiny coins. The details are blown up and once you get it in hand you'll need a loupe to see the finer details like shown in the photo.
