<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8298827, member: 19463&quot;]I suppose each of the four would be considered the favorite for each viewer and most of the collectors out there would be happy to own any of the four BUT these do a good job illustrating a point I find interesting.&nbsp; I have no idea about the grades assigned to these coins and I have no idea if the reverses might change the &#039;pecking order&#039; but, IMHO, the best is the last one added because I like the portrait style and it has a clear right legend including DICT compared to its dupe at the left. In most cases, I would have given top rank to the top coin since it is full legend.&nbsp; Am I dreaming or does that top coin show a trace of being overstruck with faint letters at the top left?&nbsp; If so, that one jumps to my #1.&nbsp; Just in case any of you was shopping for my Christmas present <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, I&#039;ll as you not get me the bottom coin which I would expect to be less in both strike and surface.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We may see these coins appear in some slab sale soon.&nbsp; It would be interesting to see how they compare to each other in terms of realizations.&nbsp; I will not be bidding on any of them (shocker!).&nbsp; This is a bit beyond that old saying, &quot;If I had some lettuce, I could have a BLT, if I had some bacon.&quot;&nbsp; My situation is more basic:&nbsp; I have no bread. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
