I don't discriminate really between Pence or Cents and have lots of each. I would normally buy whichever the higher grade. Obviously the Pence copies have a much smaller print run and are desirable to a lot of people, but I think think that the Cents copies are more widely accepted, especially the keys. If faced with the choice of buying Pence or Cents of equal grade, I would buy the Cents but the completist in me would get them both if I could afford them. A few examples of both.

There is a MRF thread here, but it's been a while since it's been updated.
Wow, that's such a hard choice. I love painted covers, robot covers and Russ manning anyway. Put all 3 together....phew.. If I was forced to make a decision I would chose #3 as I think that it was the first issue that I owned and the cover depicts an impossible task due to the size of the robot, that just makes you want to read it to find out whats going to happen. I will have to look for the MRF. What would you rate as your favorite ?

I have always liked issues 4 & 5 the best. If I have to choose just one it's issue #4.

Some lovely books there. I always liked Steve Rude's art and the cover to Magnus Robot Fighter / Nexus #1. I think is absolutely fantastic and very retro in style. I dont have a scan at hand at the moment but I am sure you have seen it.

I actually had not ever seen the Nexus # 1 version of Magnus. I checked it out on the Grand Comics DB, and found it's a pretty awesome cover.

I have just been and scanned issue 1 & 2 I love Steve Rude's work on Nexus and most of his other stuff, but I think he excelled himself here. I think #1 is one of my all time favorite covers from any era.
