[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 2879062, member: 87737"]Both of these are graded by NGC, and both are a 63. I did a side by side zoomed comparison with Lightroom, and from what I can tell, both have the same level of detail. The coin on the left, IMO, lacks great eye appeal, but has very clean surfaces.

Reverse sides so no concerns on either coin, and look the same as their respective obverses. Cost difference is negligible, so that is not a factor. Thanks! [ATTACH=full]689558[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
