To me, eye appeal would still be key. The 1888-O in the example might be a lower pop coin, but if the 1881-S has better eye appeal (nicely toned or semi-pl or bright white with great luster) then I would lean towards that one. And I would predict that a majority of collectors would also pick the nicer looking of the two coins as opposed to the less common one (especially if they only want one example).</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
