@Lunchbox John - you inspired me to launch another comparison poll myself, involving one coin you and I had previously discussed.
Just my opinion, but I like coin B better. Original surfaces and lower grade are better than high grade and altered surfaces IMO.
To honest, I am not really a fan of either. Wait around on eBay, and a really nice example will eventually show up for cheap. But of the two, I’d prefer B. A problem coin is always a problem coin, and you will always notice the problem since you will know that it is there.
Coin b for the album. I like the originality. Coin a I’d put in a paper envelope on the windowsill for a year or so and see what happens
Bud likes A and I like B..We began to argue and I will be residing in the barn for a few days. <-Bud asking me to get out.
