Just in from Newport Beach: Capped Bust Half Dime

I bought a raw half dime a little while ago and submitted it to PCGS in early January. Just got the coin back today.
PCGS graded the coin XF-40. This die marriage is notorious for a weakly-struck obverse. This is an 1830 LM-11, an R-6 die marriage.
Interestingly, I used to own two of the finest examples of this die marriage (NGC AU-58 and NGC AU-53). I traded both away to
advanced collectors in order to improve my overall collection. I guess I was confident of finding another nice example
The images below are mine.

I look for these items:
Obverse: Weak strike, lack of dentils vicinity stars 10, 11, and 12
Reverse: Filled F
