    Coin A because of the M.O.U.S.E factor.

    I gotta' go with A too, from the pics Imo the luster looks slightly better than B.

    Coin A because the toning is more even from obverse and reverse.

    Thanks everyone. Coin A also has virtually no marks on it, I can't even find anything worth noting under 10x magnification. I can find at least a dozen or so noticable marks on Coin B under 10x, a few of them can be spotted even w/o magnification. The rotated reverse on Coin
    B is interesting too. I like the overall color of B better though as the darker area of the reverse of Coin A at around 2 o'clock is a little distracting to me.

    I'm leaning towards coin A though because it is mark-free and just has a better overall strike to it... I thought it would be an easy decision!!!!!!!

    Coin A, the luster seems to glow under the toning where Coin B seems kind of dull all around.

    Coin A, as you noted coin B is choppy on a bunch of the high points where Coin A looks prestine.
