57 -> toning does not obstruct the luster

the 56 looks dead and I guess scores 2 pts lower

I like the 57 better mainly because of the wide bands of green. Both look cool though.

Both are nice, but I will take the 57 because I like the way those colors blend together ever so slowly.

Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

Love the tight rainbow on the 56, while the 57 is smoother.
OK, I like them both!

The 57 Hands down!

The color bands are more subttle and progress beautifully with Much less toning breaks as the 56.

But you can send them both to me asap!

ER, yes. The 56P is a high res scan (I haven't received the coin yet) while the 57P is a digital picture I enlarged (I only have a 2 megapixel camera).
