2 Nice 1912-H Pennies - Which Would You Keep?

what does the rest of your set look like? I would chose the one that is most like the others in the set.

bmanofnbc - That's an interesting way of looking at it. Unfortunately I don't have many coins with a similar eye appeal... some red, some brown, some bluish... glossy and not... all over the place =)

Scott - the rainbow tone is what caught my eye in the first place =D Thanks for contributing!

Hey Matty, I looked at it a little better and yes your eyes are spot on. The left shoulder and breast look to be fuller on the left coin.
Does that make a significant value difference?

I think it does affect difference because to me this is all evidence of wear. the more detail, the higher
the grade - I don't know much about striking or whether it matters? I would just just by sharpness of details
and not care of what kind if a strike it had been. Sorry I cannot answer your questions about striking I just
don't know that much about them - the coins do have a sunken look to them and this is a normal feature of the pennies
of this period.
