The one on the right is noticeably brighter.

    I really like both for different reasons. Color and bright eye appeal on the second, but the first has a great muted look as well. Number 2 screams look at me while number 1 just has a superior overall quiet appeal.

    I like coin #1. Coin #2 appears to have several corrosion spots so not my 67+.

    I'll go with coin #1 as well. Pretty coin.

    I really, really like bright flashy luster but the big spot under the chin doesn’t belong on a 67+ coin IMO. SO, the top coin wins, but only by a small margin.

    I'm torn! the one on the right screams its so bright in the center. The prints are not that noticeable in hand. However the evenness and and perfection of the other can't be denied. There are no marks on either coin.

    Tough coin as beyond technical grading it's plagued with distracting spots and prints.

    14 years ago I sold off my 2 point higher graded example for this one below and never looked back.

    I would choose coin 1 it has a really nice look. But it would be a hard choice

    Tough call. Probably the second coin. Don't like fingerprints. Its not a terrible one but its just distracting enough for me.

    Both have too much tarnish for me....They do look like good strikes though. Cheers, RickO

    Both are very pretty. But as I scrolled down the page to look at the TrueViews, the moment the fingerprint came into view my decision was made in favor of the first coin, which also seems to be the runaway "winner" in this vote.

    Please remove the fingerprint and I'll chose that one. Or, brighten the toning on the left one and I'll chose that one.

    Interesting. My first thought was the bright one. Then I saw the true views and liked the look of the muted one. The fingerprint does not help the brighter one any. I guess I would have to see them in hand to make a final on which one.

    Number 1 is the safer bet for reasons stated by others. Something to be said for subtle beauty.

    There are too man 65's that look just as nice for 1/5 the price or less. And since Rossellini isn't one of the choices, I would pass on both.

    Even in spite of the finger print; I still like the second coin.

    It has better color and luster.

    Much better eye appeal and the finger print is not overwhelming (to me).

    Maybe neither is right for you since you ask?

    Fingerprint would bother me despite the luster/color flash.

    Fingerprints aren't always a turnoff for me but it this case I don't care for them. The black spot under the chin on the rev. in coin 2 concerns me as well.

    A 'problem coin' will ALWAYS be a 'problem coin'. The fingerprint and the black spot under the neck are definite 'problems'. Every time you look at the 'problem coin', these two things will be the first things you see...as long as you own the coin.

    The first one (ending in 56) -- no question at all. Much more smooth and appealing (to me) toning.
