Most of my circulation grade coins are as found by me way back when. Sometimes I find a better example and swap it in my album. My recent CRH produced what may be a better 1938 D Jefferson. The coin on the left is currently in my album. I probably put it there in the 50's. The one on the right I just found in a CRH. I think I should swap them. Any opinions?
Those are pretty close. I have found myself getting stuck trying to make similar decisions. I usually go with whichever has the least chatter in the fields OR the better lettering. Hard to tell on the photos but I would probably pick the newer one.
While the obverse photo is a little blurry, it looks as if the coin on the right is in slightly better condition.
