  • A gets my vote again. It has more eye appeal. The spotty reddish toning on the reverse of B makes me think of rust.

    I voted for B - better strike. Clearer details in the hair and headband on the obverse as well as the crown on the reverse.

    Too close to call on this one. Both coins appear to about the same amount of wear. While B appears to the better struck coin - A has a good deal more luster still showing. I think A has better eye appeal due to the color with underlying luster but it also has what appear to be a couple or three rim dings as well.

    Too close to call .........

  • "A" is the look that I prefer.

    A all the way. I expect a 1844 half farthing in the mail anyday now, the seller graded it as a brown gem and usually he's accurate. We'll see.Again A on this one (and B on the other poll image)

    I prefer "B" ; more detail/better strike.

    Definitely A. Better luster and eye appeal. On B, I can't tell if it's worn or not, but surely it has more fingerprints.
