10848316 or 10848317

...and why would be helpful. Also, if you don't like either one feedback would be appreciated

The toning is more uniform and attractive on 10848316.

The large spot on the reverse of 10848317 is distracting.

Look at the obverse strike doubling on the indian's profile on 316. I find that interesting!

I like the first one better, better strike, better lustre and cool strike doubling.

I like the first one better, hands down, due to its (apparent) more attractive color, better luster and fewer spots.

316 has better color, more uniform toning, and is not as dark.

Dog97 · October 24, 2006 3:23PM

Neither.
316 looks like it has retoned badly from a bad dip job.
317 looks like it has retoned horribly from a bad dip job.
Urine color toning is unattractive to me.
Well, you asked.

I'd have to see them in hand. The color and toning pattern on the first coin is clearly superior, but it looks like the second might have a touch more luster and originality. Overall I'd take the first given the information provided, but in reality I would pass on both...Mike

Overall from the images I prefer 10848316

first one better.

I went with the second one, due to the very poorly struck "LIBERTY" on the first (assuming the pic is accurate).

Liberty is weak on all 1913 Buffalo nickels, but you're right, it is stronger on the second example.

I wish the second one had the look of the first one

ElKevvo · October 25, 2006 3:30AM

Same reasons as already stated...First has better toning IMO, a better strike it looks like, and a bit more luster. Could always just be the photos though!

I don't like the "look" of either.

TorinoCobra71 · October 25, 2006 8:47AM

16.......

Well preserved coins... but I prefer coins with no toning.... would not buy them, but would accept them as a gift. The toning, by the way, in my opinion, looks 'assisted'...... Truly amazing condition though. Cheers, RickO

I prefer 16 of the two; bang-bang strike, literally. The double profile is kinda cool.

17 is a weaker strike, and I don't like streaky alloy mixes on nickels.

Fairlaneman · October 25, 2006 10:19AM

Went with both. Color on #1 and the strike on #2. Number 2 with number 1 color would be the ticket.
