    A, it has the toning I hate the least, imho, thanks for the chance

    Coin B

    I like the color and even surfaces of coin B the best.

    Love the sunset toning on C, notwithstanding the hit on the reverse.

    My feelings exactly.
    Great coin.
    C>B>A

    Coin A

    I selected A because the color doesn't hide the details of the coin.

    Coin B

    I voted for coin B. The bluish tint is more attractive imo.

    I like A for the strongest strike and best color.

    Coin B

    B
    Would of been C except for mark on torch. All nice tho.

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Thanks to everyone for voting and participating in the giveaway. Congrats to the winner (see post #1) @Windycity !

    The voting breakdown was:

    A: 16 votes (22%)
    B: 48 votes (66%)
    C: 8 votes (11%)

    I expected Coin B to win, but not necessarily by that wide of a margin. The TrueViews for coins A and C don't fully capture their beauty in hand (most photos don't). There is more blue rim toning on the obverse of A than is apparent and some pretty red along the bottom of the reverse. Coin C has fantastic luster that really illuminates the toning (particularly on the reverse) and was acquired well over a decade ago, so it has a lot of sentimental value as one of the earlier coins in my set. The hit to the torch is a negative, admittedly.
