1800 H10C LIBEKTY MS63+ PCGS CAC

This exceptional 1800 Draped Bust Half Dime, certified PCGS MS63+ and attributed to the distinctive LM-3 “LIBEKTY” variety, stands as one of the most elusive Mint State survivors of the early U.S. silver series. Struck using a defective punch for the “R” in LIBERTY—a frugal solution during the Mint’s underfunded operations—this variety mirrors the famed “LIKERTY” of 1796 in collector appeal. With a survival estimate near 300 pieces for this type, this beautifully preserved near-GEM is one of only two coins graded MS63+ for the variety by PCGS, with no known auction records. Its obverse features breathtaking multicolor album toning, blending blue-teal, rose-gold, violet, and burnished copper, while the reverse is bathed in rich cobalt, crimson, and bronze-orange hues. Delicate cartwheel luster, smooth reflective fields, and a sharp strike across Liberty’s curls and the eagle’s wings. A stunning and vibrantly toned rarity, this piece is an ideal acquisition for the early silver specialist or collector pursuing a rare blend of premium condition, visual appeal, and historical importance. With a PCGS Price Guide of $30,000, and incredibly tough to find finer, this visual masterpiece will fit perfectly in an early set.
