Capped Bust Quarters

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.

    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

    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.
