Decisions... Which 1963 Franklin for the toner Dansco?

Given that I'm a coin collector, I've got OCD. If I find a coin I like and the price isn't too bad I'll buy it. I realized early on that I was getting more Franklins than I needed for my toner Dansco, so I ended up buying three Danscos. However, I am trying to put together a Top set, and then have the surplus coins wend their way down into the surplus Danscos. I've got several 1963 P & D Franklins for the toner Dansco. Later on this week I'll post some D mint Franklins, but this post is about P mint Frankies. Here are my two favorite 1963 P mint Franklins. Which one do you prefer for the Top set? The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

2nd one, the 1st coin doesn't have really good toning on the obverse.

 

Yeah - 2nd one. In albums you see the obverse first!

 

Frankly Franklin, I am not much of a toner guy, but if I had druthers I would go for # 2.

 

I like 2 too

 

I would also keep the second, if I only had two choices.

 

Bottom coin for top set.

 

Agreed, 2nd coin please!

 

#2, the first is ugly

 

Depends on which face you are presenting in your album. I *love* the sharp cut across the bell on the first coin, but the second obverse is quite superior.

 

Neither. I'd keep looking as it's for my Top Set.

 

Second.

 

Number 2 is the better of them.....

 

While I like the second coin far more and would typically go with it, I am going to go with the first just because it's not getting any love ATM

 

Second the second

 

#2 for sure

 

The first one...

Nah, I like the second one more as well.

 

The second one. The bell lines aren't full, but they're at least apparent, and I like how it toned. The reverse on the first one is flashy, though.

 

Second one but the first does have a ceramic charm about the reverse however the obverse doesn't match. Second one is almost as good but it's symmetry puts it over the line comparing the two
