In the spirit of @pursuitofliberty's GTG, here are the most recent 5 Bust Halves I have added to my Overton Bust Half set. Trueviews are provided (if possible) and I'll include in hand shots as well, considering some of these trueviews are not up to par and are borderline not usable for a GTG exercise.
2 of them were sent in raw, 2 of them were cracked out of slabs, and one of them was already slabbed in a PCGS OGH holder. All of these are straight graded.

Great coins David! @Davidk7 I like them all. Nice additions to your set. How many are you up to now?
My favorite? Hmmmmmmmm
Tough call between the 09-106 and the 17-103a, but I love the look of them both!!
Of course the 34-106 is kind of a siren too!
.
Since I think I know almost all of these from texts we've shared, I am going to refrain from the GTG, but will be interested in other responses.

I think I like the 1809 O-106 the most! Good blend of luster, color and eye appeal. I am up to 13, but I've had more than 30 DMs just not all at once.

Bump to the top since it looks like this got buried. Anyone want to hazard some guesses?

Not my series. But:
1808 35
09 40
17 45
19 45
34 53+
Likewise for me.
I like how you are assembling slow to find the nicest coins. Respect for the hunt. 1809 has to be my personal favorite only because of the crisp detail and the early date. But any could be a favorite for unique reasons.

I'm going to add to the pool. I went back to David's texts to me, and I did guess on most of these there.
So, in keeping with my original guesses from different images, this is what it looks like I sent David. He can correct me if I'm wrong.
1808 35 shot 40
1809 30 shot 35
1817 53 shot 55
1819 40 shot 45
1834 I do not see that I guessed, but I know, and even though that's what I would guess ...

As for the grade reveals:
The 1808 O-104 graded PCGS XF45. I purchased this coin raw and graded it 45 in hand.
The 1809 O-106 graded PCGS VF35. I purchased this coin in an NGC XF40 holder and thought it had a 50/50 shot at going 40 at P with the luster, but I believe the reverse holds it back.
The 1817 O-103a graded PCGS AU58. I bought this coin as an ANACS AU50 lol. It was in a blue label holder and I thought it looked pretty nice for a 50. I will admit, I had it at 53 but I actually agree with PCGS's grade after looking at it closer.
The 1819 O-108 graded PCGS XF45. It was purchased raw and I had it at 45.
The 1834 O-106 is housed in a PCGS OGH AU58. Really pleasing color, small pin scratch visible in the photos but it really is insignificant in hand. I paid up for this one.
