Is there any guesses at what these would be graded.

Well, it looks like you imaged them with a scanner, which makes things difficult. However, I think that there's enough there to say that neither coin would grade at NGC.

 

The 1829 1/2 Dime is a nice looking coin. I would say AU Details but lightly cleaned. This issue comes P/L, so it may be okay. Again, it is hard to tell from a scan because the surfaces don't show up properly.

 

The 1831 Dime will get bagged for cleaning and/or damage. It is a Net VG coin, but will never be entombed in plastic, which is okay with me.

My guess would be BB, but if you like em and didn't pay much enjoy!!!

I agree that the dime looks pretty awful, but I'm not sure that there is a problem with the half dime. I'd call it an AU from the pictures. What are you guys seeing that leads you to think it was cleaned?

[Cladiator]

The half dime is AU, no question. I can't speak to its surfaces though with those images. It's a late die state example of the LM13.2/V12a die re-marriage, an R1 coin. I say "late die state" and not "very late" because there is one die crack that has not yet begun to show, along the tops of MER in AMERICA.

Guys thanks for all the info, I'm probably going to sell them what kinda price do you think I will get for them. I collect early wheat cents and got these and some others as part of a collection.

 

Thanks

Your H10C should fetch between $100-$200 at auction. It's sharp! As you already know it was the first year for the half dime busty and the mintage was fairly small on this whole series. (29 is probably more common in the market). It looks to me from the photo, but hard to tell for sure, it has been cleaned in the past and allowed to retone over time. Maybe a ANASA holder would bring a higher value.

The dime probably would not bring over $30-$50 but who knows? Nice old coins, thanks for showing us.
