Any chance you can post up full coin images of both coins?

which should I save Is there a reason why you can't save both? Put the piece you like best in your book or are you looking to put the one with the most premium there? There are no rules as to what one SHOULD keep and pass on, this is your collection, build it as you see fit. |

If you had to choose between one or the other look at the condition. One has an obvious distracting mark on the cheek, the other does not.

Personally, I'd go with the one on the left. Assuming it's as MisterT mentioned.

Pics aren't the best, but I'd agree based on what I can see.

Did you flip the position of the coins in the first and second picture? Because I would pick:
Right coin in Pic 1
Left coin in Pic 2 and 3

Agree...looks like the coins flip-flopped. #2 in first pic and #1 in second pic.

good point Gack no! That would mean something I'm not ready to live up to, lol. Quote:
