I guess this isn't a "new purchase" per se, instead I traded for it. A month or two ago, I cherry picked a very rare half dime (1832 LM-9.2, strong R7, maybe VG details) that I knew a fellow half dime specialist might want. He had a half dime that he thought I would want, so he brought his coin to the show and I brought mine. He was pleased as punch to see the half dime I brought. I told him that we could make the trade if the coin he brought for me graded at PCGS (so I could put in my Registry set). I ponied up the $118 for show grading. I was more than pleased to get this coin back in a no problem PCGS holder. The grade was higher than I expected, but I surmised it was due to the ample luster.
My new 1829 LM-8 half dime is a very strong R6, some might call it an R6+ or something to that effect. I had a cleaned XF in my collection and a "placeholder" PCGS G-6 in my Registry set until this came along. Prior to sending back with PCGS for attribution on the label (a service not offered at shows), Todd (BluccPhotos) took some images for me:
