You forgot D - "All of the above."

It was a close tie between B and C, but I'm a sucker for color. I chose C.

Z

 

So far I'm odd man out, I chose B. Not super colorful, but the location of the obverse color makes it look like an enhanced piece of art.

 

I boosted the score to 25% for the same reason.

 

Yes really like both the second & third. Any proofs in there?

 

All three are business strikes. I used to own a nicely toned proof but sold it a while back.

I didn't want to post the grades/grading companies in the original post (to avoid some bias), but I will post links to videos here (which also show the full slab).

@ZoidMeister @Beefer518 @Robert Ransom @longshot ...if any of you watch the videos, do they change your opinion?

 

Tough call between b&c I went c as I like the color. Love the obvious originality of b too

 

Option C : not even close for the other 2. And, I watched all 3 sets of videos from insta. Just my opinion.

 

The glare across photo #1 is a mitigating factor in my vote. It looks great in the video. Likewise, hairline scratches in #2 aren't visible in the photo like they are in the video.

#3 still looks great to me in the video.

After the videos, it's a toss up between 1 & 3.

I would take any of them for $100 . . . . .

Z

 

and after the videos, it's still B for me, but it barely edges out C.

Tough choices, and it seems we're really no help.

 

I bought ten of the re-strikes for $8.00 each and sold them when silver went up in 2011(?). My net on that total sale, adjusted for inflation, was 250% for the MT's, other silver bullion and 90% coins.

 

I like A&C!!!

 

Just to clarify, what looks like hairline scratches on #2 are actually scratches on the NGC holder that reflect during the video.

And you basically guessed what I paid for them (each was around $100).

 

I appreciate all the comments!

It does seem like C is the favorite based on being the vote leader and I tend to lean towards that being my favorite too (after all, I did put it in my box of 20). I like A quite a bit too but that one has drawn no votes (the video does show it better than the photo and that is likely part of the reason). I didn't want to initially show that it was in an ICG holder as that can bias people (it didn't matter to me as I paid up for it in that holder). B is probably in 3rd place for me but I like it too.

 

What do I win? My choice??????

​

 

You win a thumbs up and a smiley face.

 

Thanks! I will cherish them forever . . . .

I like A’s silver color. Choose C cuz I hadta
