I picked up these two half dollars. Any ideas on the Overtons?

looks like a pretty major die break on the rev of that 95!

Looks like the 95 is O-122 while the 07 is 102.

Does it pay to get the 1795 graded even though it looks cleaned and/or polished?

Financially? Not in my opinion. On the other hand, from an esthetic point of view if the rest of your collection is slabbed then it might be better to slab it even in a details holder.

Ok because i plan on selling this coin probably on ebay, and that Overton seems to be an R.5. So I wondered if it pays to get it graded so i can list the overton, but the coin definitely was cleaned.

If you are selling it on Ebay then slabbing it (even with a details label) would help to convince prospective buyers that it is genuine, but you can list the Overton number whether it is slabbed or not. Sellers do it daily. As for it being an R-5 die marriage there isn't as much of a premium attached to that rarity level in the Flowing Hair series as there would be in the Capped busts. There are a suffficient number even with the R-5s to satisfy the Overton collectors for the series.

An R-5 rating for a 1795 half dollar is no big deal. Most all of them are rated at least R-4, although they might be more common than that.

Can anyone tell me what the R-rating is for the O-105 on the 1795 Half?
