A recent poll asked which coin you'd keep forever. I posted #2
Then I got to thinking if that really is the one.
In all likelihood, I'll keep both til I'm extinct, but this is really a tossup.
Both are about same price.
Whatcha think? 1 or 2 ?

Tough to beat old proof gold in my book. Awesome!
I agree about both heck I have hard time parting with circulated coins I find in change. 😂
Best place to buy !

I'm a sucker for any1794-1836 silver and gold, so the choice was easy. But the Proof is a great looking coin
I would keep both....but if forced to choose....well, I am a known gold bug....
Cheers, RickO
The proof is more attractive to me.

I love the look of proof gold, but I'm a sucker for for the capped bust design! Yeah... keep both!

Just ask Ian......
The 1802 $2.50 for me. Has a lot of character. PR63 tends not to be a terribly attractive proof grade, although the pictures of yours look pretty nice.

just go with the bust
I almost always prefer the older coin, particularly USA pre-1808

Number 2 because #1 is one of the ugliest coins I could imagine. Remember, you asked.![o:) o:)](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/innocent.png)
I had to edit this as #2 at the beginning made everything big.
Well, I didn't ask for CRITICISM!!!!!

I went with the proof as well. both are worthy
2 VERY different things.
Circulated coin is the better choice.
tough choice. I guess I would have to take both!
How can you possibly be sad? Either coin is a worthy addition to any collection. The ONLY opinion that matters with coins such as these is yours. Thanks for posting them!![:) :)](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
I would take 2, old proof gold is where it's at
Put me in the "like 'em both but I love old gold" camp. Also, not to pick nits, but the proof is only a 63. Ha!

I like the wonky appearance of #1 especially the date. Peace Roy

Coin #2 is shiny. A lot of collectors are attracted to shiny coins. It is pretty, but....I like coin #1- the color is very attractive, looks more like seasoned gold to me!
Coin #2
When price is equal; I usually choose quality, first, unless it's something common that's 'gaga graded'.

I am in the minority. I have never cared for this design, though I know it is highly liked by most US collectors. I'd rather have the proof gold.
That's a riot! Yep, if you start a sentence with #, you get GIANT LETTERS!!!!! That happened to me to, I had to go back and change it also!!!!!!
Flip a coin.....
Looks like I'm stuck with ...both.![:s :s](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/confounded.png)

I would keep both but would have to remove those hideous green stickers off the slab. Congrats!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
I like the proof.
