![coinguy1](https://forums.collectors.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/banned.png)
Following are images of six coins I recently viewed in the upcoming Heritage sale. I thought it might be fun to compare the coins AND "guesstimate" their prices realized.
If you feel up to it, please let us know which coin you prefer in each comparison below and/or what you think each might/should sell for.
In order to make it a bit easier, I have included previous prices realized information provided by Heritage, for coins of the same date and grade.

But if I had to --
Wash #2
Frankie #1
Long Island #1
Cause they ain't as ugly as the other coin pictured.
Hey, where's that Columbian???? Shoulda put that one in here.
Michael
1st Frankie since the 2nd looks washed out and really ugly
1st Long Island--probably has better color, but I'd have to see it, first. I wouldn't bid without seeing it/having someone trusted see it.

Unless the toning is way better than the pix, I wouldn't bother with any of those coins...
Prices - moon money is my bet (sigh....)

The Long Islands look like they came out of the same card. Do you know this to be the case?

Coin 1 appears to have luster subdued by original skin. Could sell for more than #2 to someone who will dip it to bring out luster and resubmit trying for a 65.
Frankies: I’d go with the blue tone @ $950. Coin 2 has more luster but I don’t like the speckled brown toning.
LI: I like the cameo effect of coin 2. $1,550.

First Franklin, $1050.
I don't like either of the commereative halves.
Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.
Most of these coins are noticeably more vibrant and better looking in person. In fact, I am not ashamed to admit that I have placed bids on some of them.
However, in starting this thread, I was going more by my recollections of their appearances than I was by the way they actually look in the images. I did not do a good job of putting myself in your shoes in order to judge the coins, and that was unfair to you.
I'll come up with another one before too long and will make sure it's better.

i would type more but it's hard typing one-handed.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
1932-S Quarter #1 $1600.00
1932-S Quarter #2 (My choice) $1900.00
1950 Half #1 My choice) $750.00
1950 Half #2 $550.00
Long Island #1 $600.00
Long Island #2 $550.00
I don't like either of the Long Island pieces.
I expect auction prices to be unspectacular for most coins.
They're Heritage photos folks, use your imagination or down load and tweek the images to augment color concentration, brightness and contrast.

but if it was my money, none of them....
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
1st Quarter-Nuthin' to write home about...soft strike, ugly tone...1650.00
1st Half, although the recent concern over AT might scare some people...1050.00
2nd Half is the safer choice, though not my choice...650.00
Toss up on these, I just don't like either one. Both reverses are nice, but the obverse just kills it for me. I'll take no.2 for the cleaner surfaces at.....825.00
I'd pass on no.1 at about.....725.00
When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.

I also agree with catch22 on the Franklin halves although I think the prices will only be $200-$250 apart.
The LI #2 has a nicer obverse - the reverses seem pretty close to each other.
Prices on the LI commems? I don't know.
#1 -- $2,100... original, but homely
#2 -- $2,600... because of positive eye appeal
Franklins:
#1 -- $500... original, but homely
#2 -- $800... because of positive eye appeal
Long Islands:
#1 -- $800... negative eye appeal
#2 -- $1,300... because of positive eye appeal
1932-S 25c #1 PCGS MS64 $2702
1932-S 25c #2 PCGS MS64 $2415 - I preferred this one due to its attractive rim color (which did not image real well), an unusual characteristic for this issue.
1950 50c #1 PCGS MS66FBL $1150 (I liked this one much better, due to what I thought was very pretty color on both sides).
1950 50c #2 PCGS MS66FBL $460
Long Island #1 PCGS MS66 $2645
Long Island #2 PCGS MS66 $2530 - I couldn't decide which one was my favorite - both displayed unusual/very pretty toning for this issue. By the way, these list in the CCDN at $575 and in the CDN at $900 bid!
