[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 8578653, member: 105571"]Neither one suits my taste but since you like them, let's go with that. When faced with an impossible choice, do the opposite of King Solomon who offered to split the baby - buy both! That way you avoid a difficult choice and wind up happy in the end. Fun over, the 55 actually looks cleaned to me but it is obviously not in a details holder. The 58, for the same price as the 55, has a higher grade. There's a $19 difference on Greysheet, $66 vs. $85. CDN CPG retail lists $88 for the 55 and $115 for the 58. Neither coin is a particularly good strike so it's pretty much a wash there. If I was forced to choose and I could get the 58 for a 55 price, then I'd pick the 58. But I would not pick the 55 for a 58 price. IMO, neither coin is worth retail. On another criteria, which one more closely matches your other coins in the set? That might be the primary reason to pick one over the other. But if neither matches, then maybe pass and look for something different?[/QUOTE]
