1829 Bust Half Dime Lm 6.1 ?

Calling bikergeek calling bikergeek!

Hey @Roach (and @Jacrispies) - I'm REALLY late to this conversation! Just happened to be looking back on " Half Dime" posts and was interested to see my name here! lol.

My conclusion, and PCGS' conclusion, is that this is indeed an LM-6.1! How do I know this? Well, I bought the coin in November 2023, and submitted it in January 2024, and was delighted to see PCGS concur!

So - like you guys, I was initially uncertain. @Roach, I assume that was you that I bought it from on ebay. You'll remember that I expressed some doubt - as the markers can be subtle (especially the berry stems). It wasn't a slam dunk. But, "nothing ventured, nothing gained," and you worked with me on the sale. Long story short, I now have an LM-6.1 in my set.

Interestingly, I picked up another LM-6.x recently in a lower grade. I had some peers look at it, and got mixed reviews as to whether the lower-grade one is a 6.1 or 6.2. Had I not acquired your coin I would have pushed that other coin a little harder... but that's one that just makes me say "hmmm...."

I wish I'd seen this post back when it came out! We could have cut ebay out as a middleman!

And I also wish that CCF had tagging that would flag a post. Mods? Anyone?

All's well that ends well!
