I've been posting a few 1813 CBH lately... a fascinating year, full of profoundly wasted dies, one very cool engraving error, and plenty of cracks and clashes !
I plan to post what I find in little clusters, until, finally one day I will be able to assemble the complete die marriage and die state set for you, nicely photographed
and hopefully even labeled and everything
Until then, here are a few raw pieces that may or may not be submitted for grading one of these days.
Go ahead and attribute them if you like, give your grade opinion and observations, etc.
An alternative view of the last coin...very interesting rim irregularity. Guido ?

Oh yeah, and the grades; the first two look VF and the third is F+.
Splendid trio you have there, Jordy.

Lance, I am sure Brian will make it. As I am on the other coast we can certainly arrange to have one of the guys nearest him to take care of business when the time comes.
Jordy,
Neat set of 1813's! Not bragging but I ID them all from memory, especially the 105a that I still need! Assigning grades to these late die state examples can be tough and unpredictable if sent to a grading service. Interestingly enough there is a VLDS of the O-103 with a die crack from base of D in UNITED to base of ST in STATES

Will guess 30-35-30 on grades. The 108a is not a Guido the all look rather ragged like that
