[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 26398720, member: 105571"]Keep Coin B or keep both. Pro Coin B: IMHO, you would really have to be a huge fan of the circcam look to overlook Coin B's higher grade, desirable mintmark, higher rarity, and more detail all in a coin that itself has a nice look to it. Pro Keep Both: Coin B, the 1840-O No Drapery is unique among the ND issues for having (almost) non-existent dentils on both obverse and reverse. Your coin is a perfect example of the characteristic. Coin A, OYOH, exhibits the typical dentil appearance of all the other ND issues of 1838-40.
