Better A or better B?

Well, its official, I'm selling off parts of my US collection and moving completely to ancients. I have, however, decided to keep at least a type set, as well as most of the more complete sets I have.

The question here is, which do you prefer, the first or second bust dime? The 1827 has a higher grade, but the 1831 has a more pleasing overall color. As these can probably fetch at least 20 dollars each, one of them is going. lol.

i would keep the second one, IF i couldnt keep em both I like the more pleasing 'look' to the secondo ne over the first.

 

I would keep B. Lower grade, but no porosity issues.

 

B's reverse is far superior IMHO.

 

To me the first example has better eye appeal. The first example has a better bust but the second has a better eagle. I always look at the bust first.

 

Yeah, but this thread is about coins, not girls. <smile>

 

So how are you selling your collection? Ebay? Tough call on the coins. I would have to say A

 

i like A better becuase you can see the date more clearly. i wonder how the front is worn, and the back isn't?

 

Toughie, both seem to be worn more excessivly on either the reverse or the obverse. Both would only be AG-3 IMHO, but I would have to go with A. Only if A had B's reverse, then that would be really nice. But overall, still some very nice coins you have there. :thumb:
