p.s. and let's remember that TPGs don't really "grade" coins, they "price" or "rank" them based on the market. I know you know this, but many...
I'm not so confident that I can draw that conclusion from pictures. Not saying that you're necessarily wrong, but rather that I have enough...
It's not obvious to me. What do you think the reason is?
p.p.s. one of the things I find truly challenging with these early silver pieces is all the net/market grading that goes on with them. Coins that...
p.s. but from techincal/details perspective clearly coin #2 wins -- but that's not how TPGs grade, IMO.

I really have no idea how hard this issue is to find with color. I'm a type guy when it comes to these coins, not a specialist, but these coins...
