Tough decision. No2 has superb surfaces. Looks MS67. But I’m a rainbow guy, so my bias is for the color.

 

I like the rainbow tone better.

 

I think #1 has gone too far.

 

I'll go with #1. Nice toning.

 

I like the toned better. Would take either one, especially with the doubled eye error!

 

There isn't much difference in the steps. I would go with #2 despite the toning on 1. It has much less contact and better luster.

@BlackberryPie nice pick up on the eye.

 

I love the toning but I'm just a blast white kind of guy. I'll go with #2.

 

It looks like Jeffie took one on the chin, but I still like #2 more.

 

#2. Love toned Jeffersons. #1 has great luster and brilliance, but I will always go for toning.

 

Daxter and Tic Tac say #1

 

#1 I like toning.

 

Both are very nice! But my eye tends to lean towards the color rather than blast white.

 

Every blast white coin looks like every other blast white coin. <Yawn>

I'll take the pretty toning any day, and even the toning when it isn't so pretty. Gives a coin character and personality.

#1 for me.

 

You got your numbers wrong, I think.

 

No. 1 for me.
2 appears more lustrous and better defined steps but I don't like the scratch through his chin.
1/ MS 66
2/ MS 65

 

1. Nice.

 

That scratch is on the holder.

 

Yes #1. I had a phone call while typing.
