I just picked up this 1832 and it looks like an LM-4 to me. Obv. 3 and Rev. R. Attributed from Logan-McCloskey. I'm just a bit uncertain with my banner, S over S, arrow to flag, and stem to C diagnostics. My measurement just come out a little off, doing it from photographs. All the other markers are there: Obverse: Die cracks cap to rim, S12 repunched. Reverse: Upper loop of S2 filled, N filled between diagonal and right upright. I would be grateful if anyone would take a look and confirm or correct my attribution. Thanks
Whoo! Frosty little beautiful Baby Bustie, there! I can't help with LM varieties (despite being referred to as "LM" sometimes for my username).
Thanks @lordmarcovan. Here's something you probably are expert at, though. Look at the field in front of Liberty's face. Not a clash. Looks more like die lines. If this is an LM-4, it is the second use of this die and was lapped. I suspect these are polishing lines from the lapping.
I thought they were flow lines? Don't really know much 'bout all that, either. I do know an attractive Type coin when I see one, however.
Could be flow lines but you usually see those between the stars and rim. Maybe someone who knows more than me (that would be just about everyone) can chime in.
That does look like the LM-4 variety. Comparing it with others it has the exact same die crack at the top and a filled S on the reverse. Also the other LM-4 specimens have the same flow lines as yours. Beautiful little gem, I'm sure it looks stunning in person.
Thanks everyone for your confirmation of the die marriage. It is a pretty little coin despite the 62 grade. Lots of luster.
