Lot 291
Draped Bust Half Dime. 1800. "LIBEKTY" error. EF-45. Broken top to R suggesting a K. Recut date. Mostly evenly struck, except about portions of the denticles on both side with the usual die flaw on the reverse below the eagle's beak. We note that the planchet exhibits a "U" shaped area across a portion of the obverse from the rims thru the neck of Liberty of light porosity, this was probably a result of a foreign substance present during striking. A lovely high grade example exhibiting light natural cabinet toning that greatly adds to this coin's eye appeal.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
