    The 1812 is an O-109a
    I don't have my book here but will look it up after if no one ID's them first.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    The 1820 is O-106

    The 1830 is harder, but it appears to me to be O-121 (large 0)

    edit: beaten to the punch while I'm checking out my Overton book! image

    << <i>The 1820 is O-106

    I took a second look because I wasn't 100% sure, and it's actually an O.123, R1

    Note how the '3' drops far below the bases of the '8' and '0'. This isn't the case with the O.121.

    Also note the T-I relationship. The 'I' doesn't completely align with the left side of the 'T' in the O.123. It aligns perfectly in the O.121.

    I just rechecked as well and you are right, it does look more like O-123. Nice eye.

    All three of those Busties are indeed pretty. Nice to have some of you youngsters around to do the Overton attributions. image

    I'd be interested in people's take on the grades. I'll start with my guesses:

    1812 EF45
    1820 VF20 but deserves a 25
    1830 a very nice EF 45

    a nice set - I'm still looking for a good 1812 O.109a - a neat, messed up coin
