1811 50c O112a Small 8

Obviously some details issues here, but check out those die cracks. Overton 112a rated R.5 by the BHNC. I imagine not too many coins came off of that obverse die after this one. Bust Halves are a deep rabbit hole and straight grades are tough to come by, popular and expensive. I find it easy to look passed details with this series, just make sure to check your values carefully, get your details discount and don't overbid. (not too much, anyway)

1942 Walker

MS65 CAC

1942 is one of the better struck issues of the series. This one is pretty sharp even for 42's. It's always good to look at left hand for strike fullness, but I also check the cap around the ear. You can look at a Silver Eagle, especially a proof, to see all of the details that should be there. A full strike in that area of these halves is rare.

1946 D Walker

MS66 cac. I don't think I agree with cac on this one. Maybe a 66, but not the best example of one, for sure.
