1796 LM-1 (R-3). LIKERTY. Outer Berry below 'D.'
|
AB EF |
$7,250.00
|
About Extremely Fine. LIBERTY shows a broken base on 'B' giving the look of a 'K'; 'LI' very close at base, upright of 'D' in UNITED is over a berry. This obverse displays shimmering bands of iridescent blue-green, silver and orange. The reverse is almost wholly covered in pale blue toning, further distinguishing this sharply struck coin, whose variety, LM note, is ''usually seen well... more |

1797 LM-3 (R-5). 16 Stars Obverse
|
CH EF |
$7,000.00
|
Choice Extremely Fine. This 16 star obverse is among the most significant varieties of this date. The strike is remarkably even and full, highlighted by brightly glowing russet-gold and blue with some reverse rose toning. Here is an attractively toned, very high quality example of what LM call ''a scarce die marriage that is very rare in Mint State.'' |

1800 LM-3 (R-4). LIBEKTY.
|
AU |
$6,000.00
|
Strong About Uncirculated. Broken top on the 'B' resembles a 'K' and gives this classic variety its name. This richly toned red-gold obverse and amazingly boldly detailed silvery reverse represent a late die state, showing a die bulge at 'BUS' in the reverse motto. Here is a wonderfully high grade example of a perennially popular variety of the early Half Dime series. |

CH VF |
$2,800.00
|
Choice Very Fine. Broken top on the 'B' resembles a 'K' and gives this classic variety its name. This coin presents an early die state, showing a minutely detailed reverse motto scroll and fully visible PLURIBUS. The obverse shows subtle red-gold contrasting with caramel-russet at the borders. The reverse is relatively uncomplicated silver. Gently cleaned long ago. Here is a second highly... more |

1801 LM-2 (R-4). LIB Wide
|
AU |
$5,000.00
|
About Uncirculated or better in strict terms of wear, though some ancient toned-over scratches can be sought out with a glass. This coin's date is distinguished by a peculiarly spindly 8, and the obverse rim is somewhat weakly struck. Wonderful blazing rose-red and iridescent blue toning join to assure the boldest visual appeal. |

1803 LM-2 (R-4). Large 8
|
F / VG |
$1,000.00
|
Fine/Very Good. This date shows a large '8' and minute '3' that is measurably tipped right. Both sides are well detailed with full stars and legend, the left obverse rim is somewhat weakly impressed. Handsome iridescent blue and russet-gold toning gives additional emphasis to the reliefs. |

1805 LM-1 (R-4). Small 8
|
VG |
$700.00
|
Strong Very Good, nearly Fine in terms of overall wear and appeal. This example of the only die variety of this date shows a slightly wavy planchet, some inconspicuous scratches now toned over. As LM observe, this last date of the Draped Bust coinage ''is very difficult to obtain in grades above EF.'' |
