<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 399634, member: 13987&quot;]I like the second one better. IMO it actually looks to have less wear. In fact the first one looks a little more suspect to me because of the stark contrast between the dark and light areas of the fields. The toning on the second one could be natural IMO. I have seen silver develop a creamy white patina, although not common it does happen. The yellow light that the picture was taken in may contribute to &quot;wierdness&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would say the 1830 is in high AU if not low MS condition. I have a hard time distinguishing wear on thes coins because some of the die varieties can really throw you off almost as if they were struck with &quot;flat spots&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: red">EDIT** Actually the more I look at the second one, the more I want it!
