    I just picked these up. I think they're pretty decent, the "scratches" are on the 2x2s. I'd like some grade opinions as these aren't a series I'm real confident grading. Thanks! Bust Halves-vert.jpg

    I should have probably put this under US coins....wasn't watching that.

    Not going to venture my guess at a grade. I tend to gravitate towards the pieces that look appealing to me. These are certainly very appealing examples of my favorite series. Absolutely lovely find.

    Nice group. I'll go with C-B-D on the grades. I like the 1834 the most.

    Fine to very fine in my opinion. Very nice looking. :)

    One thing to note about the 1811. It is an example of Overton 105 and as an R-4 is worth a slight premium to die state collectors.

    Not my series and I’m not checking any guides so I don’t know.
    I’ll go 1811 = 20, 1821 = 10, 1934 = 30.

    A small dealer set up at a gun show had a bunch of nice ones. I sure was wishing I was more knowledgeable about grades and varieties.
    I bought all I could afford at the moment...
