Description
Splendid 1800 LIBEKTY Half Dime
V-2, LM-3, MS64
1800 H10C LIBEKTY MS64 PCGS. CAC. V-2, LM-3, R.4. The
"common" LIBEKTY variety with about 150 pieces known in all grades,
but seldom encountered so fine. The other variety V-4, LM-4,
remains an R.7 variety, with less than a dozen known. Both
varieties have the distinctive broken B punch that looks like a K
and gives the variety its name. The reverse of LM-3 has a berry
below the right base of the final A, while LM-4 has a berry below
the left base of that letter.This Choice Mint State example is impressive for a sharper-than-average strike that only shows a trace of weakness just left of center on each side. The surfaces are fully lustrous beneath gold, lilac, and iridescent toning. It is an exceptional piece for the connoisseur. Population: 6 in 64, 2 finer (4/09).(Registry values: P5)
