Your favorite aunt presents these on a tray in front of you and says, "Take your pick." Which do you select?

Exactly! It's nicer in hand than it looks here. It's value is greater and it's a bit more rare; more and more it seems the 13-Ps are a dime a dozen. They're very easy to find in the higher MS grades. Less so with the 13-D, and even harder with the 13-S.
I would say in a somber voice, "I guess I'll take the S mint since the other ones are only worth $5 each. But hey, Aunt Mildred, I'll give you $10 each for the other two since you're on a fixed income!"
on a side note, gyocomgd, Where do you get these things, and not have to take a second out on your house! They're beautiful!
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
9.0 on the cool-ness meter.
The correct answer is "the tray"!

The 13-P landed about a month ago. I feel it is MS65, with great luster, terrific strike and no contact marks to speak of. I think you just have to be a little persistent and shop around. You are more apt to find rips on eBay than at coin shows; dealers obviously are less apt to undergrade coins than laymen. This one cost $43, shipping included--not a killer rip but unquestionably a very good deal. Here's a link:
