Tell me your predilection:

Definitly the second one. It looks like it has a better strike and better luster. I like the streaky toning too.

I like the texture on the second one, but that could be photography.

#1.

Cleaner coin.

coppercoins

#2, but while you're at it, you can just mail both to me and you won't have to pick..

#1 is MS64 - weak luster and strike.
#2 is MS65 - better luster and strike, but has a scratch on the cheek.

Coppercoins can have #1, I'll take #2

don't be so greedy, Chuck.

No. 2, all day ... that coin is pretty hammered for a teen S mint, appears more lustrous as well. Given a duller, mark free coin with a weaker strike vs. a more lustrous, better struck coin with a few ticks, that's pretty much a no brainer on a Buff.

Is it my eyes or my computer?

Both look to have a tiny bit of rub to them.

The second one is much better, though.

Oh well..............

I'm straining my eyes looking for an "s"

Somebody help me!

Don't go "blind", Blinded.

They're both Philly coins.

I think it's because I mistakenly put up a 1913-P for a 1913-S the other day. My bad!

Shamika

Sorry, but if I had to choose I'd go with #1. The strike is not too hot, but the second coin has a big scratch starting just above the T in LIBERTY and running across the Indian's cheekbone.

I do love the streaky toning on the #2 however.

TUMUSS

Both will go 64.

I'll take the second one.
