VG. Too much wear on the rim of the reverse to be any higher.

Is the coin bent? The lighting on the obverse around 5 indicates it might be.

VG-10 details. I second the opinion that the coin is slightly bent.

Hmmm I hadn't noticed a possible bend but regardless I think it's worth a buy at £4 - $6 equivalent.

It'll make a nice pair with my 1871 S.

I'll report back on the 'bendedness' when I have it in hand

Agree VG-10 details, though I suppose the bend is producing the rim wear.
Rest in Peace

I'm at VG10 also. Reverse keeps it from any higher

Probably worth at least $10-15 here in the states, maybe a touch more IMO.

Well it arrived this morning, and yes there is a slight bend to it but it's still a nice old thing for less than the price of a couple of beers.

Here are a couple of close up photos:

I notice that there are a few filled letters (both S of 'States' for example).

Would this be a late die state, or from something else?

It's a later die state of LM-5

Here's an earlier die state http://www.everythinghalfdimes.com/...rriages.html

Another late die state like yours http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/...2_LM5_5c.jpg

That rim on the reverse looks pretty worn, G-4 to me...
