[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3103156, member: 10461"]I prefer Coin A for its more even coloration. The spot [USER=43130]@C-B-D[/USER] mentioned (presumably we're talking about 10:00-ish on the reverse, near the rim) did [I]not[/I] in fact grab my attention until it was pointed out, whereas the stainlike darker toning patch on Coin B did. Neither is a bad coin, really, but between the two, I'm for Coin A. [B]Edit: [/B]I typed that before zooming in on the supposed spot removal on the obverse to the left of the shield of Coin A. I guess this was the spot [USER=43130]@C-B-D[/USER] was talking about. Admittedly, I was skimming and not reading the text and focusing on the pictures (but on a very small phone screen). Zooming in on that spot changes my opinion somewhat. I still don't think either of these is a bad coin, but I think you could do better in terms of eye appeal. Both of these are just kinda so-so. Keep looking.[/QUOTE]
