1810 through 1814 are my favorite years for CBH, so I would say that you made an excellent choice on your first one.
Other good choices for your next one include 1810 O-108 which is similar to the coin that you posted except the reverse die break extends from the 'E' in STATES straight down through the '0' in 50 C.
1811 O-112a is a nice choice for obverse die cracks, but is not an easy coin to locate.
1812 O-108 is quite similar to your coin with the reverse break having the same starting point as your coin, but extends to the 'M' In AMERICA rather than just above the first 'A' in the same word.
If you like coins that illustrate distressed dies, (as I do), 1813 O-107a is sure to please..... it displays generous crackage on both side of the coin, and is quite a common variety, so you might pick up a nice example relatively inexpensively.
1814 O-106a incorporates lots of clashing on the obverse paired with plenty of cracks on the reverse.
There is usually a lot going on with these early dates, and I, for one, would always sacrifice condition for interesting features...... 1812 versus 1831 ? (Give me the 1812 every time).
