[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7362097, member: 105571"]Thanks to all for your opinions, which were highly valued. I put in an offer on the coin which was accepted. Here are the seller's photos. The coin is an 1829 LM-17, R-4. If you look closely, you can see the 1 in the date doubled at the top. Logan-McCloskey says examples above VF are "difficult to locate". The obverse is die 4 and is the fifth use of this die. The reverse is die J and is the fourth use of this die. So, tired dies although some (but not all) of the die cracks that develop for this die marriage are not apparent in these photos. Looks like clashes in the reverse shield. Until the coin is in hand, I'm calling this an EF-45 although there might some evidence of improper cleaning on the obverse. Ya know, you buy raw on the internet and you takes your chances!
