Got these in the mail today. Both represent upgrades to my die marriage set. The 1832 is an upgrade from a raw AU-50 that I purchased from Jack Beymer a while ago. The 1832 is an LM-13 die marriage (R-3) and is housed in an "old green" PCGS holder. The 1835 is an upgrade from a PCGS AU-53 that I got off of ebay. It looks like the graders in the 1990s were allowed to chew tobacco in the grading room 
. The 1835 is an LM-6 (R-2) die marriage and is housed in a "rattler" PCGS holder. Both have been graded as AU-58 by PCGS and will become my set pieces for their respective die marriages. The photos are the best I can do in the limited time I have while my daughter (I'm a full-time dad and love my job!) takes her afternoon nap.

Both are very nice. Great pickups.
I especially like the look of that '35.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

Nice additions
Fixed the 1835 at least. Got them from a dealer in the SE United States
Congrats on the upgrades.
