Two 1908 S IHC's which would you select if so inclined?

[jesbroken]

If you so wished to have one of these coins(if you don't like either thats fine, but not the point), which would you select and why? Both are MS64RB coins slabbed--the first coin by PCGS and the second by NGC.

Thanks

I prefer the first one. It looks more original, and there's nothing (especially enticing) about the second one that overcomes that.

Did the second one get crossed from NGC to PCGS recently? It was said to be NGC MS64RB when you posted it previously.

My apologies Mark, The second 1908S is an NGC my misnomer. I will correct it now.

#1, no question.

No.1

I'd have to see both in hand, but I'm inclined to love #1.

If these colors are accurate, I would unquestionably pass on both coins. This is too available of a semi-key date not to hold out for one that's a little nicer than either.

But that wasn't his question.

The first one.

I don't like the second one, due to the green stuff!!

I agree with this!

Well, if you put it THAT way ... , I am inclined to take #2. The first coin looks like it has a corrosion spot right on the date. But again, it's really tough to glean much from these images.

I like number 2, but these image comparisons are difficult. I always did like a little 'woodgrain' in my small cents.....

#1 here too... color looks more pleasing to me.
