    I like the obverse of coin 1 and the reverse of coin 2. But I don't like both sides of either coin, so I chose coin 3. image

    I like the look of all three coins.

    But, if I could only have one it would be #3.

    I would always go for the coin with the most obv color, so #2.

    I guess ol' curly just has to be the odd man out......I like #1 a LOT! Album toning on the obverse sez it all for me.

    Coin 2. The color and the greens on both side sold me.

    I Love coin 2 dont get me wrong but that purple, blue, and all that green on the reverse is just amazing on coin 3, not to mention the rainbow banned on the lower part of the obverse. I really wish my camera skills and my camera (nikon L20 = cheap) were up to pair with the many more skilled pic takers on here just to show how much better they are than my pics show. Once i get a few coins slabbed im going to send them to someone on here and just have them image the coins for me.

    Looks like he does some sweet imaging. You know of a thread off hand he posted in so i can send him a PM? By the way that is a very nice 56. The luster on the reverse is blinding!
