Which VDB do you prefer?

Well, heck, after building a bunch of toner Washington and Franklin Danscos, it seems appropriate to build some other albums, including a toner Lincoln Dansco. I must say, I do enjoy the toning that Lincolns can pick up over time. One of the nice things about coin collecting is that you get to make the decisions about how you're going to put together your collection. I'm not particularly motivated to get every Lincoln date and mm, but do plan on getting at least one coin from every year for the Wheaties. At this point I'm just getting Memorial cents up through 1982. At one point in the past I owned a (rattler) MS64RB 1909-S VDB, so I'm not particularly feeling the need to get a raw one now. I've got two P mint VDB's, so I'll just stick the extra one in the '09-S VDB slot. Just wondering, which of these two VDB's do you prefer, or do you like/dislike them both? I like them both, but lean towards one, and will put it in the P VDB slot. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

Tough call. I like 'em both!

But if I had to pick one, I'd go with #2.

 

I prefer the second one

 

First reverse, second obverse

 

I think the second coin grades lower, but I prefer that one.

 

The second one

 

Numero dos

 

I'm not feeling it for either coin but if you twisted my arm I'd be forced to choose number 2 to keep you from breaking my arm.

 

I'd pick the first one.

 

I like number 1 as well.

 

#1..........

 

No brainer...#1. Appears more lustrous and doesn't have distracting carbon spots.

 

Prefer two. But like my Lincoln's brown. Sexier in my opinion.

 

Reverse 1 and obverse 2, however, if I had to pick one I'd go with #2 (the obverse carries it).

 

#1, the carbon spots on the other make the decision for me

 

#1

Chris

 

#2

 

The first one.

 

What ever one you don't want, send to me.... Np both are nice.....
