Looking for any opinions on condition of these two capped bust quarters. 1835 appears to have a die crack on the reverse. 1833 appears to be a rotated die. Also, any opinions on whether or not they should be slabbed/graded. Thanks for any advice.

Better left raw, the 1833 has that guillotine scratch across the eagle's neck which won't straight grade. The 1835 has some scratches on the front, either from severe mishandling or bad cleaning.

I like the "35 much more than the '33. In my opinion it's got a more natural skin to it, but I don't think it'd straight grade due to the scratches on the front as mentioned in the previous post.
Both coins would likely get AU Details if submitted, for reasons mentioned above.
I wouldn’t sink the extra cost into them.
Save your money. They would both not straight grade.
It's a shame on the gouge and scratches. The coins have nice details.
The images are not helping the cause… Both would be reasonable for a 7070 type collection. I would not submit these
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Never seen one of these with the eagle's head decapitated before.

Thanks for the input. I wish that they were in better shape, because I do feel they have a lot of good detail left. Unfortunate about the scratches and the gouge on the eagles neck. Trying to help a friend who had his mother pass and left him her collection.
I agree with everyone's assessment on the 2 coins. Sorry/
