Lot Description

1800 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-3, V-2. Rarity-4. LIBEKTY. MS-62 (NGC). The LIBEKTY <em>Guide Book </em>variety is not denoted on the NGC insert. This is the more obtainable die marriage of the 1800 LIBEKTY variety, although it is still scarce in an absolute sense. A very scarce Mint State example, the coin we offer here is boldly struck in all but a few isolated areas, where we note soft-to-blunt detail. Satiny in sheen, and quite smooth at the assigned grade level, both sides are dressed in slightly mottled toning of copper-gray, olive-gray and russet colors.
