Here's a new arrival 1811 Bust Half Dollar O-112 R4

The die cracks were the first thing about this coin to get my attention. It has a nice luster in hand.

Opinions with grading will be appreciated.

I really like the die cracks, reminds me of a 1900-O MS62 Morgan I recently purchased, die cracks all around the reverse. Nice Au Coin!

What a sweet coin! I see light wear on the eagle's claws. AU-something for sure.. my highly inexperienced opinion.

Very nice coin, with some amazing die cracks.

However, it does have 2 noticeable scratches on the obverse.
One is below (and a bit to the right) the lower curl, and a smaller one over the 18 of the date.

If graded problem free, I'd say the scratches would take it down to AU50.

With die cracks like that you wonder how many more strikes it could take before the whole thing blew apart
