Popular V-1, LM-1 LIKERTY 1796 Half Dime, MS63

1796 H10C LIKERTY MS63 NGC. V-1, LM-1, R.3. The top and bottom flats of the B in LIBERTY are severely weakened, giving the impression of a "K" with curling arms. This is a radiant Select Mint State survivor from the popular and scarce variety, delightfully lustrous with glimpses of gold, rose, and blue patina over otherwise light silver-gray surfaces. Neither side shows any overt abrasions, though assorted wispy marks combine to account for the grade. A handful of pieces have been certified by NGC without reference to variety, but among coins certified as LIKERTY or LM-1, Census: 2 in 63, 4 finer (6/09).(Registry values: P7)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 94254, GSID# 3720)
