I currently own these two coins. I love the looks of both of them. I gotta decide which to keep in my Registry Set and which to sell. Please give me your opinions on which should have an eternal life with my set.

PCGS MS66+

Tough decision. Both are beautiful, but I like the second one the best.
I think I would go with the bottom one 66+, just like the brighter look.
That's a tough choice but I'd say number 2. They're both gorgeous!
Bottom Color is much much better

I personally like the lighter color but if the blue is transparent and not dark, maybe that will do it for me.
Another thing to consider is expected sale results.
Bottom
Agree with the consensus.
Door number 2!

Bottom coin. Like the toning better overall.
Looks like #2 wins. I also prefer it. Both are nice though.
Coin 2...…..but coin 1 is beautiful also.
I like the 2nd coin the best also because I find the color more pleasing. BUT I could certainly live with the top one as well.

Collect the whole set...….then you can use both!
They are both outstanding. For me, coin #2 just edges out #1. The pastel toning is just so pretty.

Looks like a recently graded coin on top based on the cert number. And it got a Gold CAC. Has it become more common for recently graded coins to get the Gold sticker?

Funny, I like the color of the top one better. Yellow/gold is common. Blue is less common, but that's just me. If push comes to shove, I'd pick the one with the best luster.
I find the second more attractive and the first seems to have a rarer toning color. I think I would go with the 2nd.
Tough choice. Do I want to drive the Ferrari or the Lambo tonight? I like both but for me....first one....by a paper thin margin.

1 It looks iridescent. 2 is nice but I'd want 1.
I think.
Why did that go bold?
I’m with the first one. Somewhat rare to see Gold CAC on modern holders, but that’s not my reasoning. Both amazing coins.
I would keep the blue, unless I wanted the extra registry points.
Tough decision... I love the look of the REVERSE of number 1 more than the obverse to be honest, but as is I would choose number two by the slightest margin.
#2, I like the look, the color and the grade.

...cause you hit the hashtag button...the bottom right button on every landline phone keypad...the pound button I think it was called
I'm also in the 2 camp. 1 is nice but the colors are darker and less consistent.
I like the 66+ best, but the first one is definitely cool..

Second.

wow... that's tough! For me it would come down to which piece had the best luster when looking at it under reflected light. You just can't get that sense from a static image.

Daddy, which of your children do you love the most?
I'm with door #2, but not by much.
