Three Capped Bust Halves - not my specialty

Windycity

I am no expert on Capped Bust halves but I picked up these three today and wondered if our forum members might shed some light on what I have. The 1813 has unfortunate scratches on the obverse but also has significant die cracks. The 1920 is clearly an 1820/19 knob 2 and the 1830 I'm guessing is a small O but not certain. Appreciate any help.

Probably an optical illusion but that "X" on the 1813 obverse almost looks raised like a cancelled die. Though not a very neat X even if done by hand.

1813 O-107a R1 The O-107' (no obverse die cracks) is much rarer, R4, so these die broke up soon after they were put into use.

1820/19 O-102 R1 Common for the date, but not a real easy date to find (750K minted). Curl 2 Redbook variety

1830 O-115 R2 Small 0, probably an XF coin based on the picture.
