The obverse was stunning and the reverse was nice but not as clean but quite colorful

coinrookie, that description fits quite a few coins. I and probably a lot of other collectors have done that.............Ken

I would buy a coin like this, but not the other way around: i.e. nice reverse, not-so-nice obverse. I have a few like this, most purchased because of nice obverse toning.

I would (and have), but it depends on a number of factors such as how much worse the reverse is, how the coin is net graded, and how it's priced. As an example, I bought an 1864 small motto 2 cent piece that has a small hole in the wheat on the reverse, but that has a very sharp motto on the obverse. Since that's what distinguishes this coin, I bought the coin for a VF price, but it has AU details where it counts.
