Have a few CBHs I'm submitting for opinions. Sorry for any weirdness in photos - the backgrounds got removed while trying to reduce file size - none of these are damaged on the rim.

Looking for:

Grade
Overton variety if you know
Will it straight grade?

This one has an interesting die clash on both sides and a Cud on reverse - so additional question - do either of these add to the value in this series?

Thanks in advance!

I'll say VF-30 and straight. Interesting coin for sure.

This is an original-looking coin that is on the precipice of being XF. I'm at VF-35, and I don't believe this coin has been wiped.

This coin is the 1814 O-103 R-1 with the best diagnostic the large die crack from the scroll to the wing of the eagle. Because there is no visible luster, and the surfaces are lightly worn evenly, I give this coin a VF-35.

Die clashes are very common in the 1810's on bust halves, particularly 1812-1814. The break on the reverse is not a Cud because a Cud is a die break that involves the rim. This would be categorized under large die crack. This variety is very common so there is no substantial premium.
Suffering from bust half fever.

the sharpness of the date and lettering are saying XF but I think it nets out at VF35

VF-35 seems about right.

Lots of strike issue with this one. Looking at the right wing and Liberty's hair, I'd be at EF-40.

Thank you all. This will help greatly in finalizing which are worthy for certification.
