Which do you prefer? 1960-D Washingtons for the toner Dansco.

[SkyMan]

Given good old coin collector OCD, I've actually already started TWO spare Danscos. My A toner Dansco 1960-D slot has already has been filled, this is to determine which Washingtons will go into the B and the C Danscos. As you can see, even the C toner Dansco will have some nice coins in it. I hope you enjoy them. The numbers I have assigned to these 3 coins is not necessarily the way I would rank the coins. Please let me know how you would rank the coins. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

 

#1

 

#2

 

#3

I prefer #2 with the re-engraved queue bow.

i like the second one as well

[physics-fan3.14]

I am judging these solely on toning. #3 is my favorite by a very wide margin. #1 and #2 are both kinda... , but the better reverse on #1 puts that in second place.

 

So, I'd rank them

 

#3

#1

#2

I would rank them:

 

#3

#2

#1

 

in that order.

 

Number 3 has it all but for a tiny tick in the right facing field. I still think #3 is the coolest.

 

Number 2 is smooth but doesn't quite have the color and appeal of #3 .

 

Number 1 has neither the strike nor eye appeal & color of the other two coins IMHO. I also don't like the die lines of #1.

3, 1, 2

 

In fact, 3 is WAY ahead on the my list so...

 

3, ........................ 1,2

Thank you folks for all your kind words and input!!!

 

It is a difficult decision, as can be shown by the final voting scores for each coin. I've totaled and tabulated the final results from the 3 coin websites I posted to, e.g. the PCGS boards, the NGC boards and Coin Talk. Here are the final results for each coin. FWIW, my choice (was and) is currently to place # 2 in the B Dansco, # 3 in the C Dansco and # 1 in a red 2 X 2 box with my other spare coins. Personally I quite like the toning on # 1, but the hits on the reverse do affect the overall appeal of the coin. I will wait until I have all 3 coins back here, (plus my A Dansco one), to give them a final comparison to see which will go in which Dansco. IMO, they are all nice coins, so I can't really go wrong. Anyhow, here are the final voting tallies. Note that the votes don't all add up, as some people only picked one coin.
