    I agree with @TomB. Coin B has superior surfaces and strike.

    B without question. Better strike, color. I don't particularly care for the color of the obverse of A.

    B for sure much more appealing

    My first instinct was coin B, but after carefully looking at A now find it much more appealing due to the fact that the coin has much luster even from an older die. I am guessing all the marks on coin A are die defects/rust rather than marks from handling.

    I like A, but I'm a hammered collector, so what do I know about these.

    What are you hammered on? Box wine?

    B, but of course! I suspect the reverse glitter and flash on B would show some nice apple green and rose toning highlights.

    B. Sharper details and more natural devices.

    What is this? A reunion ? 😁

    I like the luster on A but the peer pressure is making me vote for B.😎
