1835 half dime help

zas107

I have a 1835 half dime that I believe is an lm-10. I have attached not so great photos of it. I have also attached some close up of the dates that show some broad repunching/recutting. It is definitely raised metal, not tooled. nor is it a shadowing effect. Has anyone seen this on an Lm-10 before? The 5 also has a large die chip in the top of the 5.

It does look like an LM-10.

I agree that it is an lm-10 I just was unable to find any other examples that had the anomaly with the date. Cheers!

Thanks for the clarification.
The raised metal under the 1 35 might be shelf doubling.

The 5 also has a large die chip in the top of the 5.

The MS-68 on PCGS CoinFacts has the same die chip.

Good close-ups zas.

I see the effect on the 1 and 35, but cannot determine if shelf doubling or re-punched numbers... strange that the 8 is not affected.... Cheers, RickO

The 8 is also High.

Right. In the L-M book they describe this as "Small Date 8 High 3 Low".
