1952 PDS Washingtons for the Dansco album.

[SkyMan]

Here are the 1952 PDS Washingtons for my toner 1940 - 1964 Washington Dansco album. I've posted 2 P mint Washies as I'm not sure which one I'll use. One of the nice things about putting together this set is that most of the coins are fairly inexpensive, so I can buy multiple examples that catch my fancy. Of course, once you get multiple examples, then you get another Dansco album to put your backups in. I like both P mints, they're just different. Any thoughts as to which one you prefer? The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

Assuming the pictures accurately reflect how the coins appear in hand (and knowing Bob's pictures, that's an accurate assumption) - hands down, no questions asked, I'm surprised this is even a discussion, I prefer the second P mint coin. The first one is spotty, splotchy, has no outstanding color, has dull luster, and bores me to tears.

 

The second one has attractive rings of color, blazing luster, and is incredibly eye appealing. Given the choice between the two, the second one is the one I would choose - no second thoughts required.

No contest the second Philly coin is miles better.

No question the second "P" posted. Not only does it have better toning and color, but luster is off the charts.

Dang Sy, you seem to have an unlimited amount of Dansco Beauties!!

I agree with the others that I think the luster and color on the second coin are superior to the others.

[SkyMan]

It looks like the second P in a landslide.

The 1st P has it's merits but I am in the majority, as I'd choose the 2nd one (mainly, b/c of the luster), if asked to make a single choice.
