1800 Draped Bust Half Dime. LM-3, V-2. Rarity-4. LIBEKTY. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC.

1800 Draped Bust Half Dime, LM-3 (V-2) “LIBEKTY” — Rarity-4 — PCGS MS-63+ with CAC A coveted early Federal silver issue, this 1800 Draped Bust Half Dime represents the famous “LIBEKTY” blundered obverse, where the R in LIBERTY resembles a B. Attributed as Logan–McCloskey LM-3 (V-2) and classified Rarity-4, the variety is scarce and strongly sought after by specialists, while its historical appeal and standout eye appeal make it equally compelling for type collectors. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the formative years of the U.S. Mint, the coin pairs Robert Scot’s elegant Draped Bust portrait with the Heraldic Eagle reverse introduced in 1798. Survivors in true Mint State are elusive; an MS-63+ example certified by PCGS and approved by CAC signals premium surfaces, lively original luster, and overall quality solidly above the mid-MS norm for the type and era.
