    I will say coin #1 grades XF45 beacause of the luster and #2 XF40 for lack of luster.

    Edited to add that I like both coinsimage

    I don't know, but I looked at them so long, I
    feel like I have to say something, so...

    If I had a choice of which one to take home
    with me, I would choose the first one. I just
    like the look of it better.

    1 is better than 2 but both may be the same grade... likely both are 45

    #2 looks to me to have less wear.
    When in doubt, don't.

    #1 is the better coin, #2 is the better picture.

    I don't know the series, but I would guess #1 is PCGS VF35, and #2 is NGC XF45.

    I like coin #1 better.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    I definitely like coin #1 more, though I have to give the higher grade to #2. It hurts to do that because of the lack of luster in #2, but there is slightly more detail than #1.

    Is that a scratch on Liberty's cheek in #1?

    i personally see less wear on #2,but like the look of #1 but note...,i see a difference in the reverses in the positioning of the letters of "states" to the clouds and wonder which variety holds more value?

    #1 seems to have mint luster, so I will guess 1 AU50 and 2 EF40
