Another Which One Would You Keep? Leisy's Cone Top

[Conehead]

I always like to hear youns guys opinions on which can you would keep, so here is another one to look over.

Clevelanders know how tough the IRTP Leisy's cones are.....Way, Way, Way harder than the non-IRTP.

So which one would you keep?

Front:

Right Side:

Left Side:

Back:

although the right can has a few more blemishes - I love how bright the gold is. So I would keep the can on the right

can on the left!

If the can will be on a high shelf and you can't get within 3 feet of it, AND you are only concerned with the display... can on the right due to brighter gold.

If the can will be viewed at eye-ish level, AND you are concerned with future resale value... can on the left as it is the better can, condition wise, tarnish and all.

For me, 100% can on the left. Tough cans!!

I vote on the left here too. The fronts are pretty darn similar looking, and although the front of the right can may be a tiny bit better, the backs are no comparison. And hey, if you're looking for someone who would love a donation of the can on the right … both are super nice!!

I was going to say can on right with brighter gold until I seen the back . Can on left. LEON.

Since both have their flaws it's a coin flip so what I would do is sell them both and buy a nice gr1 one with the money I made

Do you know where I could get a grade 1 IRTP?

In 30 years, I have seen exactly 1 (of any grade) of these that was available. I passed, thinking I would be able to get one later. The IRTP is a really tough variation.

The gold on the right is tempting but how long will it last? I vote for the one on the left. If you keep the one on the right, in time the gold will start to diminish and when it does, you will wish you still had the one on the left.

By the way, it must be nice to have problems such as picking between two really nice cans. :)

I have seen 3 maybe 4 irtp's in 18 years

Thanks everyone that commented on these cans.....I really struggled on which one to keep. I was leaning towards the right can because the gold was so much better, but finally let my wife make the decision and she said to keep the left can. So the left can now resides in the collection and that's one less can to try and track down.

Another thought- since the IRTp is the key thing on this can- keep the one with the better-looking statement (left). I once "upgraded" my pre-IRTp Neuweiler's Ale quart with one that was quite a bit cleaner, except there was a hole right where the statement was and you could only tell there was no statement was when you held it side-by-side with an IRTp. Always felt like a fake.

I agree with your decision for reasons above plus the rust at the bottom face of the can on the right. The m ore I looked the "easier" the choice is. Good call.

Right side displays better...mint snobs will never see the back while on the shelf.
