Coin club meeting pick up... grade opinions anyone (CBH) ?

First of all, it's very rare that I can get free on club meeting night. I never really expect to find anything, but I usually throw a couple of bucks
in my pocket just in case...
I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw this hanging out with with a bunch of white Morgans and buffalo nickels !

It's an interesting companion for this piece that I picked up this week also, the reverse crack on the 1814 carried right over to the 1817's obverse !

    Off-hand, I believe the 1817 is a tougher R4 die marriage.

    The 1814 is the awesome o-106a, R4+. The obverse die was used on the o-105 and the o-105a (single leaf variety).
    The 1817 is o-105a. I really like the similarities between these shattered dies...the caved in portion of the die hardly strikes up, yet the other side
    of the crack is relatively crisp....how would you grade these ?

    1814 = G-4
    1817 = F-15 (obverse is heavily obscured because of the upward shift in die plane)
