It was an 1832 LM-9.2, an R7 remarriage, in solid VF. It was (and remains) the most I've ever paid for a coin. Sheridan had some others in this lot that he offered to me. One was an 1833 LM-8 R3 (which I'd had a hard time finding a decent copy of), and the other was an 1832 "LM-10" - but which one of the four remarriages was unknown. (All four, LM-10.1 thru 10.4, are from "tough" to "super tough.") He was packing for a big show and didn't have time to produce and send a bunch of pictures, but assured me he'd accept returns on anything I wasn't happy with so I pulled the trigger on all three. Fast forward, the 1832 LM-9.2 was graded by PCGS as VF30 and went on to get a CAC sticker. The 1832 LM-10.x turned out to be 10.3 and turned out to be a "keeper" of an upgrade over the NGC 53 that I'd only found a few months prior. The 10.3, TrueView here, was a bit softly struck but has great eye appeal. A worthwhile gamble, especially with a trusted dealer who offers returns![/QUOTE]
