moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/18/2019 12:23 am Absolutely the first, 67. But I'm very prejudiced against toning as even beautiful toning damages the surface. I like mine as close as I can get to just minted. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/18/2019 12:41 am with moxking on this one, and for the same reasons. IMO, it makes the '43 better value for money against the catalog value, which does not account for toning, either good or bad. At anything above MS65, eye appeal means a lot. Besides, the bands are more clearly defined on the '43, even if both are FSB. The uneven toning on the '39D detracts from eye appeal, and thus value, despite the fact that at MS69, the '399D is a very rare coin. Report this Post to the Staff

scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 10/18/2019 08:49 am The '43d - that is a beautiful coin. The toning on the '39d is very distracting to my eye. Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 10/18/2019 08:57 am Not a fan of the toning. Also it's worth noting the MS67 is RPM-007 Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18644 Posts	Posted 10/18/2019 10:20 am I'm taking the 43 also. not a fan of toning especially when its not consistent. over time it tends to darken and look worse. also the 39 does not look FSB to me and the 43 does. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 10/18/2019 10:49 am I probably wouldn't buy either too rich for me. But I don't like the MS 69. Just not a fan. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
