Which Seated Half?

Okay, which one do you prefer and why? They are essentially both AU58 and offered for the same price.

Coin A

Coin B

I like coin B more.

Coin A looks tarnished badly, rather than nicely toned.

I like B better.

A looks a little too spotty to me and for some reason the color looks messed with. If that is the way it looks in hand though, it is sort of cool.

I would also guess B is better looking in hand since it looks like sort of a bad picture.

Based soley on the pics - coin B. However, I've taken pics of some gorgeous coins with darker toning but amazing luster and originality that have come out like pic A because of my inability at that time to capture the luster at all...

Can't really tell by the images, might be the lighting but "A" looks to have more detail............hummmm?

B looks better to me. Eye appeal is 10 times nicer.

both coins are nice - would depend on the luster factor - if coin A has any golden luster to it, I would go with A.

Coin B

From the pics, coin A looks to have nice luster. I don't mind mottled toning if it's attractive- and realize that I'm in the minority.

Raybo · September 5, 2008 4:25PM

Look at Libertys right elbow (left as you look at her), which looks more detailed?

Hows about the stars (might be the strike)? More detail on coin "A" IMHO.

Toning i'm not so sure about................

A. Looks more natural

291fifth · September 5, 2008 7:03PM

B has much better eye appeal.

CertifiedGoldCoins · September 5, 2008 7:38PM

A -- because toning is currently the "in" thing.

newbiecollector · September 5, 2008 7:40PM

A- looks to have more detail and definition to me.

TorinoCobra71 · September 5, 2008 7:49PM

"B"

Steve27 · September 5, 2008 7:52PM

Both are ugly, but "A" looks better.

LindeDad · September 5, 2008 11:23PM

Are we comparing a picture and a scan?

Musky1011 · September 5, 2008 11:46PM

a

Smittys · September 6, 2008 12:01AM

Like others based on the Pics I Like B better

fcloud · September 6, 2008 12:06AM

A == the other is too washed out for me.

dizzyfoxx · September 6, 2008 12:13AM

Definitely B

kaz · September 6, 2008 8:27AM

I prefer B. A has a mottled appearance that I personally don't much care for. Obviously, a matter of preference.

ricko · September 6, 2008 8:30AM

Coin B.... Cheers, RickO

Barberman55 · September 6, 2008 8:52AM

B is a scan....much nicer in hand!

yevrah · September 6, 2008 9:40AM

I like them both. But to be sure, could you ship 'em over for a fisrt hand look?

BECOKA · September 6, 2008 9:42AM

Not a fair question based on the pics. Need better pics on both of them.

I like B based only on these pics but if the lighting were better on A then it looks like it could still have a bit of luster where B totally mutes the picture so even if there is luster we can't tell.
