Most from FUN...a couple from ebay. Most are AU. Two are MS. Can you spot them?

Nice looking Bust Halves Lance, as for the ones that are MS I would say the 1822 and the third 1824 pictured.
Nice group.
I'd say #3 (1822) and #6 (1824) are MS
The 1824 (Number 7) got punched extra.
I'll go with the 22 & the 27. All a these pieces are over the top bud!! You've outdone yourself again Lance. You have a refined eye and ya always have.
Great pick ups my friend. Really nice!
Lance, you are cornering the market! The 1822 and 1825 look Mint State to me.
Check out some of my 1794 Large Cents on www.coingallery.org
Pound for pound among the best pics on the boards.
Like the double profile on the first 1824.
1822 & third 1824 MS?

I would say the 1822 and 1827.... nice lot of coins.... Well done.. Cheers, RickO
I'd guess the 1822 and 1825. Awesome group of pickups with great pics (as usual).
Great looking bunch of busties, Lance, congrats!
I'm not going to guess as to which two are MS as I already know....but superb coins and pics nonetheless!
Nice halves!

I would say the 1822 and the 1825. All very nice.

I'm in the 22 and third 24 camp
22 and 27 are ms

By the way, Lance, excellent strike on that left wing of your 1810 O.102a, not to mention nice colorful toning too!
The '22 and the last '24?

my opinion is that the 1822 is mint state. None of the others truly are to my eye. But grading what it is nowadays, if the question were, "what other half did PCGS call mint state?" then I would just be taking a random guess, and that's no good.
looks like the 1822 & 1824 to me. fwiw
I'm guessing the 1822. The 25 looks good, but I'm also drawn to the 3rd 24.... can't make the call.
I'm with you. The 1822 seemed the easiest one. There are a couple close ones. All stunners.
22 and 25. Very nice.
Methinks the '22 and '27. Nice Busts!

Beautiful coins Lance.
I'd put the 27 in the top 3 with the 22 and 25. Really too close to call.
22 and 25... Wonderful coins
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
22 and 24.
22, 28
ChrisRx...there is no '28. Pick again?
Lance.
Very nice group of halves
HAPPY COLLECTING
I appreciate for all the comments and guesses, fellas. Here are the PCGS grades:
1810 O.102a AU50
1812 O.105a AU53 CAC
1822 O.113 MS63
1824 O.111 AU53 CAC
1824 O.108a AU55
1824/4 O.109 AU55
1825 O.108 MS64+ CAC
1827 O.122 AU58 CAC
1833 O.101 AU55
So the MS coins are 1822 and 1825. Several members guessed correctly.
The flashy 1822 seemed a gimme. But the 1825 was a bit of a sleeper. I think the 1810 and 2nd 1824 (O.108) deserve a grade bump. The 1827 may too.
Some coins look better in hand, some in photos. The 1833 with its blunt strike and delicate, PL surfaces looks meh in pix. The 1824/4 shines.
Thanks for playing!
Lance.
Great group of busties. No wonder I can't find any nice ones to buy, you've got them all
Wow...surprised the '27 did not get MS.... Nice coins though... Cheers, RickO
22, 25 oops

Ain't that the truth. Dave Wnuck did an interesting blog about this a few months ago. For Internet selling, being photogenic is important. Some perfectly good coins don't look as impressive in photos and a great photographer can hide lots of faults.
Tremendous group of CBHs. Lance, you have a mint bag full of these yet??
