Possible 1829 LM-5 Remarriage

1829 H10C MS65 NGC. LM-5, V-6, R.1. The obverse of this die is instantly recognized by the doubled top to the 1 in the date. According to Russell Logan and John McCloskey, this die marriage involved the second use of the reverse die, with the die lapped and both berries in the branch floating in the field without stems. However, on this example the lower berry does have a berry and represents a very early die state. If evidence could be found that this variety was struck prior to 1829 LM-4, we would have a previously unreported interruption in the emission sequence for specialists to consider. This sharply struck Gem may also be one of the finest known for this die variety. The strike is typical for the design type with some central weakness. The surfaces have satiny luster beneath lovely gold and iridescent toning. This is a wonderful example and potentially an extremely important discovery for half dime specialists.(#4276) (Registry values: N2998)
