An exceptional first year 1829 strike from the LM-13.1 die pairing. Eye candy is the best approach to describe the vivid gold-orange, rose, blues, violets and pink shades on this lovely gem. Brilliant frosty luster is equally impressive during bright light viewing. Let's also mention that both sides are deeply impressed with full devices.

	1829	MS65	PCGS 25321304	LM-3	Gem	$3150	New October 9! Gem Original, Strike Thru Error, Worthy CAC Approval. This gem 1829 LM-3 Capped Bust half dime appeared in trade at the Pittsburgh ANA followed by a CAC submission where it did not pass. I was confident it would secure a green bean regardless of a strike through error through the 18 digits and terminating at the lower curl. Sparkling frosted luster originates from textured mint bloom. Cartwheels are top end and absolutely vibrant under angled lighting. A careful 10x check revealed several micro ticks at the base and upper left field that might be the explanation for the CAC rejection. Maybe I'm too focused on luster and cartwheels these days? This is where this lovely half dime excels with superb eye appeal. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder.
