Description

1800 LIBEKTY Half Dime, AU58
V-2, LM-3, Ex: Gardner

1800 H10C LIBEKTY, V-2, LM-3, R.4, AU58 PCGS. This attractive near-Mint specimen offers sharply detailed central design elements with just a trace of wear on the highpoints. Fine definition is evident on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers. The surfaces retain much of their original mint luster, under vivid shades of champagne-gold, lavender, and gray toning. A few scattered minor abrasions do little to detract from the terrific eye appeal. The reverse exhibits die sinking near the BUS in PLURIBUS, and a spidery bisecting die crack from the M in AMERICA to the I in UNITED.
