[QUOTE="900fine, post: 946164, member: 6036"]This is a happy day for you ! That's an r.6 . Dick Osburn, king of Early Silver, has only one 29LM11 in stock - an F12/VF20 listed for $495. I suppose it's not a bad idea to submit it for attribution, so the LM number appears on the slab. However, I must say [B]it's very expensive and slow[/B]. More importantly, there are very, very few collector / specialists for a coin like this, and they are [I]certainly[/I] the type to [I]personally[/I] verify attribution before purchase, even if attributed by a TPG. They are quite unlikely to trust TPG attribution. For those reasons, TPG attribution on this coin is of dubious value. I wouldn't bother with it myself. TPG attribution is most useful on Sheldon and Overton varieties since there are so many collectors of Early Date large cents and Capped Bust halves by die variety.[/QUOTE]
