    They both have good qualities and I can see why you would have trouble choosing. I think I like the first image better.

    Yup, good choice taking #1. I have some coins with broken Patinas and I can accept it, but #2 on here would bug me.

    My concern with the second coin echoes Mat's. With that much of the patina gone, I would constantly be worried about bronze disease infecting the piece. Number one was the superior choice.

    I agree, first one is nicer, I don't like the partial patina on the other one.

    Based on my experience with dug colonial coppers in similar condition (hard to compare), with every little movement more of the patina will come off.

    Definitely the first Vespasian coin...You'll love it years from now, but the second would make you regret your choice almost immediately...

    Very nice choice, Ro!

    amazing how the reverse design is used even today: Seated britannia with shield on modern UK coins from the last 2 centuries. Idealized Boudiccia...
