    The coin does not appeal to me at all, so I would not buy either. You can find colorful coins of that date if you really want one.

    LOL, that sticker adds value for sure! In the listing it says they use their own price guides, too.

    They both look like TERRIBLY UGLY coins.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    I'm betting it looks better in hand.

    Wouldn't touch either coin with a 10 foot pole unless better images are provided. Could role the dice and buy both and return them if you don't like them.

    I think you and I were the only ones to notice that.




    Having seen Kaz's comment before opening the links, I just knew MAC was going to be the sticker image

    That thing has the eye appeal of a hemroid.

    I noticed it, too, and that is why I referred to a single coin in my post.

    $500 can buy you some beautiful early 20th century silver and some very nice 19th century pieces with provinence.



    Please excuse the frankness, but both those coins are just plain awful

    Indeed.

    Yuck.

    Pass quickly on both.
    When in doubt, don't.
