<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1834309, member: 15309&quot;]I always have trouble evaluating and comparing coins with huge photos like that so I decided to shrink them down a little.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Misc/JN1951-D1_zps9928bf9d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Misc/JN1951-D2_zps38463d11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Misc/JN1951-D3_zps24106fa0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t judge a coin by just one element of grading.&nbsp; I think that most would agree that #1 has the best color and the worst strike.&nbsp; Number 2 has good color and decent strike but appears to have the roughest surfaces and luster.&nbsp; Number 3 has the best overall strike and certainly the best luster but the toning is much more common.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I pick coin number 1 since we are talking strictly about which coin has the most eye appeal.&nbsp; IMO, the inferior strike does not detract that much from the appearance of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW Joe, you should just add a poll to the thread so everyone can see which coin wins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
