    In hand, it is a bit darker.

    That blotch under LIBERTY is only noticeable in bright light.

    I think that the first one is the better coin, too. Just compare the wheat stalks and the strike of "e pluribus unim" for one thing.

    Keep the first one. From what I can tell about both coins, the second one looks like 66 was a bit of a gift. Lots of tics on the face, nose, shoulder, and the strike isn't as good.

    Keep them both! Why get rid of items unless you need the money - surley it doesn't take up that much space - and don't cal me "Shirley"

    The second...




    Nah, the first just looks nicer to me. The grade point loss wouldn't bother me a bit.
