All 3 are MS64 and roughly the same price. I need one and have the 8% eBay bucks to use.
Help me decide by voting for which you think is best -- See Update below
#1
#2
#3
UPDATE
The first coin is described as "Rose Colored" and the 2nd seems to be more true to life pictures when viewed in the holder, while the 3rd seems to be adjusted compared to the slab and label. It is described as "Deep golden brilliant luster gives this Sesqui great eye-appeal"
I do like #3 the best, but I see I have another issue with #3. The seller is from California and I'd have to spend another $500 to avoid the State sales tax of 8%
so the socialist government of California would get my 8% eBay bucks
#2 has a Best Offer option, so I put one in for $120 less the asking price.
Coin buyin be hard.

<< <i>Based upon just photos, I like #3. >>
I agree. If any of the three is PCGS graded, it might be the best choice, considering auction prices realized.

Because the see it in hand crowd has me thinking
#2 looks of generic quality to me just based on scuffs and marks. #1 is not lit well enough to really judge it. #3 you already noted the combined sales tax issue.
Coin #2 says "NFC coins 2013." Has that coin been in inventory for that long? Or is it a generic photo for any MS64 Sesqui they might have?
<< <i>Is there a specific reason you need a MS64? >>
I've gone my whole life without one, so no I don't need a MS64 or any grade for that matter.
But in my definition of my type set, I NEED a $2.50 Gold Commemorative.
That means either a Sesquicentennial or a Panama-Pacific.
I much prefer the Panama-Pacific but it's 5-6 x the $$$.
So I filled one of the last holes in my type set. Some, like the $50 Panama-Pacific will remain out of reach.
I had the 8% coupon that expired today and couldn't see anything useful to buy on eBay so I looked at these.
TNFC accepted my offer so it is on it's way to me, where I will look at it, take pictures and then put it in my bank safe deposit box where it will remain out of view for years to come.
If I was smart, I'd just collect coin pictures instead of coins
The hole of a $2.50 Gold Commemorative has been filled and the universe is back in balance
Funny, I feel like I am on the Dating Game!

You can't fill a hole with a rectangle... So are you cracking it out?

There are rectangular holes in this sick, twisted universe we call home.
