Nice ... that's going to mess someone up trying to attribute those though, since the reverse images are the same!

I think I like the 33 better ... seems to have more natural surfaces ... but they're both nice looking coins

The 1833 is an O-113 and the 1835 is an O-103

I really like the ‘33 also, that’s a nice looking bust half.

You bet ... and no, better.

According to the 3rd Edition Overton, both were R2, however the 33-113 is considered a little better than that now.

I like the 33-113 Die Marriage too, because it's really easy for me to pick up on, and I know them almost as soon as I see them (well, as soon as I see the reverse). I refer to it in my mind as the "dropped zero", from the position of the 0 in 50 C.

I like the 1835 PCGS XF40.
