which of these would you choose?

I have a horrible dilemma. I have this beautiful coin with these really nice photos and I can not decide which photo to use as my display photo. I would love everyone's opinions and also your reasoning for why you would use this one or that one and so on. Its a terrible predicament to be in and I NEED GUIDANCE!

The photo on the left is from the heritage auction, the right is from the ebay auction and the bottom photo is the zoomed in to just the coin also from the heritage auction.

When I started collecting coins I never had any intentions at all it was just for fun but over the years my interests have settled on wanting the best. I never thought I could ever own a coin of this magnitude let alone afford one. This coin holds the auction record for its year and type as well has being the finest known example. It previously sold at Heritage for $2185 before making its way to me through ebay.

I enjoy collecting coins for their beauty and rarity as well as the competition involved with trying to have the best. This coin was on ebay for over 4 months before I talked myself into buying it as well as figuring out a way to afford it. I sold 25 ounces of silver and 1 oz of palladium to get this coin.

I still cant believe it was on ebay more than a week, but Im glad its in my hands where it will be displayed for anyone and everyone to see. Obscuring this coin should be a crime!

Good luck to everyone in your coin hunting and cherishing.
