Description
1796 LIKERTY Half Dime, AU58
V-1, LM-1, Colorfully Toned and Original
1796 H10C LIKERTY, V-1, LM-1, R.3, AU58 PCGS. CAC. This
outstanding half dime is labeled as the LIKERTY variety by PCGS,
but the top loop of the B, while delicate, remains present. It is
indeed the LM-1 die pair, with a bold strike on both sides.
Well-preserved throughout, this near-Mint example shows remarkably
few imperfections. Luminous luster remains throughout
semireflective areas not blanketed by generous layers of iridescent
and warm-gray patina. Careful inspection fails to locate defects,
and a tiny square toning accent near the I in AMERICA is useful for
pedigree purposes.The LM-1 variety is usually seen in well-worn, lower grades. While this example shows a touch of high-point wear, the thickly frosted devices retain their sharpness. It is challenging to find a single significant mark anywhere on this jewel-like early half dime despite its short stint in circulation. The astute bidder will note the coin's CAC endorsement, which is seldom awarded at the About Uncirculated grade, nor is it granted to numerically finer examples other than one solitary recipient. Population: 10 in 58, 18 finer. CAC: 2 in 58, 1 finer (3/23).
