There are two gorgeous Stellas in the upcoming Heritage auction. One I liked; the other I loved. Which is your preference?
(I saw both in person last week in St. Louis, and it was a treat to be holding one in each hand).
Stella A:
Stella B:
And, for the fellow Dead Heads:
All the years combine, they melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end theres just a song comes cryin up the night
Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years.
Stella blue. stella blue.
When all the cards are down, theres nothing left to see,
Theres just the pavement left and broken dreams.
In the end theres still that song comes cryin like the wind.
Down every lonely street thats ever been
Stella blue. stella blue.
Ive stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel, cant win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time,
Gonna make them shine, shine
It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free,
Theres nothing you can hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life was just a dream.
Stella blue. stella blue.

<< <i>Hard to tell from the pics. The color on "A" looks odd, and the "B" coin looks a little bit more market-acceptable. If I had to choose, I would settle for B. >>
Admittedly, the Heritage photos did not do the coins justice.

There's a surprise.
P.S. I picked B.

I'll pass on both.
3 different aluminum stella's, and a $20 stella (plus some others I think)
I like coin A, but it looks like a weak strike in the hair and it appears to have hairlines. Even though I see more marks on B ,it looks from the picture like a cameo and the details are sharper. Be that as it may, it is the primary reason I picked B. If I could afford one, it would not be NCS'd
