Wow that bust half is a sweet one..  I think there may be a dozen varities of this year in the Overton catagories.  just my opionoin and only mine since i only dabble in them and have only about 10 of them ithink she may be an O-110 at quick glance.  I would have her slabbed in a heartbeat. 

I wasn’t even aware of the Overton categories and found a nice site online that explains the details of each one and what to look for. Thank you for informing me of that.

Agree with Vkurt. The half dime looks low AU (53 or so). Still a $150-$200 coin depending on grade.  But the 1822 should unquestionably go to grading. I can’t tell for sure if there is wear on the hair but it looks like a little. Even AU it’s a very collectible coin. 
 

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CLEAN THEM. HANDLE THEM ON THE EDGES ONLY AND CAREFULLY.

Thank you for the info. I will handle them carefully and will not clean them at all. 

Hi! 
I recently received some coins from my grandpa who passed, and I am trying to determine if the coins are decent enough, or worth having them graded. I’ve looked at photos of different grades, but being a newbie to this, I am not sure what to look for. Any help with estimating the grade and whether or not I should pay to have it graded through NGC would be appreciated. 
 

I have an 1831 Capped Bust Half Dime and an 1822 Capped Bust Half Dollar. 
 

thank you
