A Couple of CBH Newps From a Forum Member: 1813 50C/UNI & 1811 O.113

These were offered to me by one of our very own at a price I could not refuse. One is a popular Redbook variety and the other is a rare die marriage. The 1813 50C/UNI is a duplicate (my other one is also VF) and I already know I'm going to have a hard time deciding which to keep, if I don't keep both!
I plan on sending these two to grading soon; what do you think our host will call them?

Nice coins
I don't know about the Overton 113, but is that damage?

Yes that's what I was wondering.

It's called a "Guido"
The '11 O.113 is a very scarce marriage. I have one just a tad more worn which I call F12. PCGS called it VG8. Grr.
Are you concerned about the loop-scratch in the left obverse? It looks ancient but also intentional.

Even with the Guido and loop scratch, I think the 1811 could grade. F12 is my guess.

Yes, I am slightly concerned about that spot. Although I am fairly certain it would pass at grading because it was done with such a fine-tip tool and isn't obviously graffiti (I see no clear letter, number, symbol, etc), I still have some reserves. But I'm going to give it a shot anyway. Right now I'm at about 70/30 in favor of it grading.

I am very curious how it turns out. Looking closely you can more than a simple loop...kind of a heart shape, as well as another loop near the mouth. If the graders' eyes are drawn to this area I think it spells trouble.

I really like the 1813. Great look and cool variety.
I'm uneducated enough on die marriages to not appreciate the rarity of the 1811. Late die state too.

It's a planchet rim clip error which is worn very smooth.

Well, not exactly. A "guido" is actually caused during the edge-lettering process.

yes the planchet does not make a complete rotation in the castaing machine. Usually there are edge lettering errors when this happens.

Interesting as both the obverse and reverse show the "Blakesley effect" of a rim clip.
The 1811 l don't think will get a straight grade but neat error.
