whilst sorting coins out I tend to find that there's already a dated coin in the "keep" folder, then its a case of weighing up what is the better grade of the two.....

most I have (as you know 🤔) do come with circulation damage, but I always take a closer look at duplicates and see if there is a better option to keep...

the (1816 Shilling) one on the right was in the folder, the one on the left is a contender to be an up grade..... it looks better to me, so I would appreciate a second opinion... before committing to swapping them around. 👍cheers

The right one has obverse gouges across the neck, and a reverse edge nick, that’s the decider for me. The right hand coin may also be pitted, hard to tell from the photos.

Definitely the one on the left. As well as @Coinery's comments, the detail on the reverse is far nicer.
