The details match LM-2 as @jacrispies noted (compare the PCGS plates for LM-2 to OP's coin) but OP's coin seems "off" in a way that's hard to describe. So I don't know on this one.

 Told ya to give the ol bust a chance. My initial impression was correct Quote:
Photo is taken at an angle that skews the details. The photo was editied to fit into a perfect circle, causing the top to be stretched on both sides. I'll stick with my original grade of AU-55. Beautiful coin. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

big difference. note how photos can actually alter a coins look.
she may have had an older cleaning but probably will grade straight
XF45 for me. the small rim nick at K10 obv wont affect it. I can't get this coin into any AU box but thats just me.

Thank you everyone. I bought the coin this morning.
I had it in hand yesterday afternoon and knew it was an authentic example but happy for the verification from the forum; I too was surprised by how much the photo distorted the coin. The owner of the coin shop said a woman sold him this coin and about 6-8 other very small denomination silver coins. She just had them for many years.

Amazing how much the photos distorted how the actual coin looks.

I told the coin shop owner that his angles are off on his photos. He agreed!
