You think #1, #2, or not much difference. Can you see the portrait in each image?

    The biggest difference to me is the color. Which is closer to the coin in hand?

    Also, the representation of the surfaces is different; without personally seeing the coin, I like the detail and sense of depth of #2

    I don't like the cropping of #2 though. Then again, I don't like to crop pictures of slabbed coins, especially irregular ones; it just doesn't work well.

    Slab label was poorly done on #2.

    Slab label intrudes on coin boundary on #1.

    Can see portait clearly on both... if I know to look for it.

    #1 - detail comes across more clearly.

    I'm probably way off base here, but I think those are two pics of the same coin.

    Not way off base. Same coin, different image of same coin.

    Number 2 looks better, but number 1 shows more detail.
