one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 10:19 pm Which do you like better and why, first coin or second coin: Still considering this first one for sale: Just found this second one out in the world: The first coin seems to have a much better overall strike and better surfaces, but less luster. CCF folks had thought low to mid AU on the first coin. So is the second coin MS with all that luster? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

The other one, as nice looking as it is likely has light wear as the luster looks disturbed and it appears to have possibly been mishandled at some point in time. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 11:27 pm I'm with coinfrog: neither. Second one looks as if it's been cleaned with a wire brush, first one hasn't been photographed as well as the second one (and may be hiding issues). Report this Post to the Staff
