Sometimes I get so frustrated I want to pull my hair out...
As you may recall I recently won this very rare variety in an eBay auction. Hand-delivered it to PCGS at the recent Las Vegas show. Paperwork filled out there with their customer service reps (express service), noting on the form that the coin was an LM-12, and paying extra for the attribution. Placed a value on it of $8K. Grade was posted today, G details, and described as "Small Date Large 5". No mention at all of it being an LM-12.

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

not sure if that page doesn't show attributions as in the past i've had that problem.
usually i check the cert page to verify - https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45852636
since the cert page hasn't populted (for me) yet, you may want to get on the horn and try to catch the coin before it leaves pcgs to save a trip. i'd ask if the label has the designation just in case the tech side just isn't showing it.
as a side note, you really don't know how many times i've seen your avatar pop up and i start cracking up seeing that kids goofy pose/smile ! so thanks.

Sorry to hear about your woe's with the host but I'm sure it'll all get worked out in the end. When I saw the title of your thread tonight it made me smile. About an hour ago I was thumbing through my LM bible to attribute my first half dime newp in eons and out popped a printed email I hadn't laid eyes on in many years. It was an email from our beloved MrHalfDime to me and another half dime addict and the subject was the discovery of the, at this time unannounced, '35 LM12. Finding that old letter from my departed friend warmed my heart and seeing your post tonight makes it that much cooler.
@UtahCoin... Cannot help with your problem.... but your link, showing your daughter twenty years later, is great. She certainly is beautiful. Cheers, RickO
