And not in too bad of shape, considering that it is an 1830 LM-10. First example I have ever owned--whether cherrypicked or purchased. And believe me, I have handled a lot of 1830 half dimes over the years. This variety is fairly easy to recognize, as it is the only 1830 die marriage out of 14 varieties that year with Reverse F (extra serif of C in AMERICA). That feature is clearly seen on my new coin, which also has the typical weakness in the area of the eagle's talons.
I like it, and thought I would share it with all of my friends here. It was exciting for me, as I do not have the cherrypickin' success on the level of many other members of this forum.

Congrats on a Super Pick
Oh, and the coin is pretty cool, too
<< <i>Nice photos!
The photos are great! Nice job, Brian!
Thanks to all who posted. BTW, the last one at major auction (from what I could find) was at the 2006 Jules Reiver auction by Heritage. A VF that realized $2,300.
Judging by the ringing endorsements from those who know.............Congratulations.

I know doodleysquat about the variety, of course.
Those faint hairlines on the obverse almost resemble a graffito "A" if you rotate the coin. Coincidence?
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
In terms of sheer numbers, perhaps not. But in terms of depth of interest (and pockets), definitely yes.
<< <i>YOU SUCK! >>
In all these years (been here since 2000 but under a different username), this is my first YOU SUCK! Thanks!

Good question. The coin is pretty beat up, so I am guessing that they are random scratches.
Thanks to everyone who posted.
<< <i>Is there a substantial market for CBHD varieties? >>
Not nearly as large as capped halves but large enough market that R-6 coins won't have a problem finding a home.
