Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 10:20 am Well, the first one is damaged, so I prefer the second one. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 10:29 am I prefer the look of the first one, but the obverse scratches are a negative. The second one is in better shape and probably looks better in hand.

edteach Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 10:40 am thanks. I like the detail on the first one but the scratches are a neg. for me. First one is 45 second one is 40 usd Report this Post to the Staff

edteach Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 10:55 am I have looked on Vcoin, local shops and ebay and for 40 bucks you are not going to find anything like that sitting around. I know if you look and make it your job to find a great deal you can. But all in this coin is a fine condition coin and the price is reasonable. Not a steal but not bad at all. If you are saying. you would only collect extra fine to mint state I get it. but price to condition this is not bad. Report this Post to the Staff

You have to fill the hole on the budget you have, not the one you wish you had.

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 11:18 am Hard for me to get past the scratches on the first one. Does the second one have a graffiti letter 'L' after "ONE" on the reverse? Maybe it's just an odd coincidence that it looks that way. Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 11:34 am I wouldn't buy either, I picked this one up for $25 and it looks better even being details than the 2 posted.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5662 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 12:16 pm The second coin just sold on ebay this morning. Their additional photos actually look better, but there does appear to be an L scratched onto the reverse. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145994582735? Report this Post to the Staff
