I have to choose which of these two awsome 1883 IHC to keep, which of one of the two would you keep?

Both of these coins are knockouts in my opinion, but I can only keep one of the two. Of the two coins one is graded a 65RB, the other is a 64RB care to guess as to which is which?image

I know I'm making this difficult with the crap pics, but these about the best I can do.
Both coins exhibit more luster and red then what I'm able to capture.

The PCGS coin (Coin 1) has a light light scratch above the date, and is the only blemish the coin has, This coin has nice full strike. This coin is about 75% red.

The NGC coin (Coin 2) also has small mark, but its on the reverse, btn wreath and E. This coin is softly struck, and does not show feather tip definition very well, However this one is 90%+ Red, and has awsome luster.

So which of the two would you keep? and if you care to comment as to which you think is the 64 and which is the 65.

Following is a few pics of each:

Coin 1: (PCGS)
