Both are very nice. Are you still looking for one of these?

The toning of number two is my favorite. The details on the Pegasus on the first is much better however.

 

Coin B. It has better style, high relief. It's a no-brainer to me.

 

Definitely A. Now, just out of interest, who is selling B?

 

<the ironic innocent-angel emoticon didn't show up>

 

Having to make decisions like this can be agonizing! If I were you, I'd consider purchasing both of them!

 

I say you got a nice one, enjoy it and don't get obsessed over all the others. Go find something else cool.

 

A few things I do not like about B (although it is certainly a nice coin):

1. The damage on Pegasos' hip.
2. The planchet defect starting at 5:00 on the Athena side.
3. The cud and roughness from 9:00 to 12:00 on the Pegasos side.

I still think A is the better coin overall in spite of the less then perfect centering on the obverse.

 

The relief and toning of coin B are great and I think it's a very desirable coin. I voted A because of the previously mentioned defects with B.

 

A, all day. Completely agree with Aethelred.

 

Also, is there no middle ground for guacamole?

 

A has the more interesting device behind Athena. Btw, what is it? Figurine running with a scythe?

B has a crack, just to add to Aethelred's list

So I voted for guacamole since a decision has already been made

 

I like B because is is concave, adds to the feel in hand (to me anyways).

 

I don't like the roughness in various places on coin B, esp. on Athena (eye, chin, hair, helmet). Its dies also seem to have been in worse shape. Keep the one you have!

 

I like avacodos but can't stand guacemole, so I voted nasty.
Which coin though, I say keep A
