WOOOOAAAHHH, even with the fuzzz I see AU-55/58 or better. That's a pretty half dime. Thanks for sharing the pics. Take Care Ben
It's a LM-2 R-3 , had chance to get a 1805half cent with nice doubleing on the date but when i saw this peace well i love big cracks
very nice bigjohn, that is a great example of the lm-2 die marriage. this is the second and final use of the obverse 1 die. i love the bisecting crack. lm-1 and lm-1.2 use the same obverse die [obverse 1] as well. lm-1 has a faint crack and the lm-1.2 has a more prominent crack with a great reverse cud over [FULL] TED [RETAINED] STAT. all of the marriages are quite tough to find. estimated rarity- 1836 lm-1.1 R5 1836 lm-1.2 R5 plus 1836 lm-2 R3/4 attached is my set vf/xf set piece. you have a great example and thanks for sharing.
Neat coin John. Very nice strike and neat die crack on your LM-2. The high amount of detail, along with a seeming lack of luster would have me concerned that the coin has been cleaned and/or dipped in the past. A very nice coin regardless. Thanks for sharing and respectfully submitted...Mike
