New, Cracked out of NGC slab. Decent Cartwheel luster.

Old raw, no luster but still well detailed. The upgrade didn't give me much more detail, but the surfaces and luster are much better imho

The 1835 is very nice, indeed.

I recently owned one that was quite obviously recolored to hide some old corrosion. Sadly, it was a high AU otherwise. I just traded it to a dealer this past weekend.

1835: I'd go AU-55 although there's a chance this one got to AU-58.

1834: I will say AU-50 although a little on the fence between that and AU-53.

They both look great for their advanced age!

I think the 1835 is knwon for a weak strike, the break in the "L" in Liberty is a known die variety in this coin. Many of these have die cracks and clashed, but I don't see any in your coin.

New - MS-62
Old - AU-55

Looks like I need to brush up on my Half Cent Grading Skills.

Either way, it's a nice upgrade!

Congratsu Fayette1800, you got it right. AU-58! I would have graded the old one probably a 45, if it had more luster it would make a 50. thanks for all of your guesses!
