Suppose you have a chance to own one of these two coins. Which would you rather own, and why would you choose it? Forget about pricing.

Both are the same variety but the bottom photo is not as good as the one on top.
The top one is in a higher condition but with obvious hairlines. Probably AU where the bottom one is XF but if the toning was really nice on the bottom one I might choose it over a hairlined AU.
Yea. I agree with 123cents.
Looks like the same coin but different lighting. The hairlines and detail do not show up in the bottom photo as well as the top.

Okay Mozin
So did you join the Merry Pransters?
Looks like ICG is going to take a beating on the grade comparison.
When do we get to see the second coin?
Description read "1810 50C XF45 NGC. O-105, R.2. Golden-gray toning covers each side with deeper accents of toning surrounding the devices.".
Coin #1 is currently available for bidding, as an ICG AU55.
Perhaps ICG needs to check their grading standards for Bust Half Dollars. Yes fellas, both pictures are of the exact same coin.
