I find this to be an LM-5. If you could help I would appreicate it. If not an LM-5 then what is it and why. Thank you so much.

    LM5 would be my deduction as well. The doubled 1 on obverse is an easy call for Obv4. Reverse matches nicely to RevD and just to be sure I did a quick dentil count and it matches at 113. For what it's worth it appears to be a quite attractive coin for the grade. The scratches left of the 1, in front of the chin and to the side of S9 don't bother me in the least with a coin of this level of circulation. A true workhorse that's survived 195 years with nothing but honest battle scars.
