  The 1830 appears to have a scratch that extends through the portrait and may get a BB. Further, and it may just be the color in the picture, the color looks off as if it may have been bleached. I hope that I am wrong on both counts. EF40 seems right.
  
  The 1871-cc looks to be VG10 or F12. I believe F12 is on the best day and quite possibly too optimistic

  Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  In terms of details, I'd say EF-40 on the former and VG-8 (maybe 10) on the latter.

  I'd agree on that.
  
  That 1871 half looks nice.

  The 1830 does have a very light scratch to it, but the color is nicer. It appears that it got faded out by the scanner.
  Thanks for the thougts.

  1830: XF40 obverse, VF30 reverse, scratched, net VF20.
  
  1871-CC: VG10 obverse, F12 reverse. Grade is VG10.

  All glory is fleeting.

  The 1871-CC Half Dollar is a VG-10 and looks original.

  I like the 1871 CC Seated half as VG-10.

  The detail on the 1830 looks XF40. The scratch makes it BB, and the coin could have seen some chemicals anyway.
  
  I don't do Seated grading anymore.

  I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
