1796 H10C Likerty MS (PCGS#4254)

The Summer 2022 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1796 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-1. Rarity-3. LIKERTY. AU-50 (PCGS). This visually dramatic example exhibits a mottling of steel-olive and russet toning to a base of warmer pearl gray. The strike is nicely centered and otherwise well executed with all major design elements crisp. Smooth and inviting in hand with plenty of eye appeal. The popular 1796 is the first of only two half dime years that feature the Draped Bust, Small Eagle design type. Two die marriages are known with Logan-McCloskey 1, represented here, corresponding to the LIKERTY Guide Bookvariety. This name is derived from the use of a broken B punch that gives that letter the appearance of a K. While not as rare as LM-2, LM-1 is scarce in its own right with most survivors well worn, if not also impaired. The handsome AU offered here would serve as a highlight in any cabinet.
