1796 LIKERTY Half Dime, XF40
V-1, LM-1, Colorfully Toned

1796 H10C LIKERTY, V-1, LM-1, R.3, XF40 PCGS. LM-1 is the more plentiful of the two 1796 half dime varieties, although it is still scarcer than the 1797 date as a whole, which is the only other Draped Bust, Small Eagle issue. LM-1 has a broken top on the B in LIBERTY, earning it the LIKERTY moniker, even though the malformed letter does not really resemble a K in the strictest sense. This lightly circulated example displays pleasing central detail, smooth surfaces, and vivid multicolor toning.
