    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Excellent. Thank you very much OKbustchaser. So you think a LM collector might want this piece?

    I was just doing a search and noticed this thread. Not that it matters, but the correct attribution for the coin is LM-3/V-1, a very common die marriage. The 1832 LM-6 has a similar reverse, but a notable difference is that the LM-6 has both loops of the second S in STATES filled (this coin does not). There are other obverse/reverse differences, but the filled S is the easiest pick-up point for me.
