[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 2625984, member: 82322"]You want the first one. Off-center horses are dime-a-dozen; the coinage of Larissa is coveted for the facing portraits. The first one has a clear nose. It is better centered and has less corrosion on the obverse. Although there is a bit of corrosion on the first example's horse, it is still in better shape than the second example's worn horse. A good trick with these tiny 9mm coins is to shrink them on your monitor until they are 9mm in size to see what they will look like in-hand. I think the first one pops more at real size, even though it might not be as artistic as the second.[/QUOTE]
