<Our item number 120269><B>1796 Draped Bust Half Dime. &#34;LIKERTY&#34; error. PCGS graded VF-30.</B> V-1. Lightly toned on both sides. Mintage: 10,230 pieces. Valentine-1 &#40;LM-1&#41; is distinctive with or without LIKERTY. On this variety, the I in LIBERTY is much too close to the L, diagnostic for the variety. Although only two die varieties are known, the Guide Book continues to list three different entries for the date, including the Normal Date, the Overdate, and the LIKERTY variety. This latter issue is merely a die state of the Normal Date Valentine-1 variety. John McCloskey and the late Russ Logan, authors of the current half dime reference, made no mention of the LIKERTY die state. Evenly toned with some lighter areas on the drapery and face, tops of the stars, and on the eagle. The reverse has more of a russet tone than the antique-gray obverse <B>&#40;PCGS # 94254&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,800-4,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 120269<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.gol dbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/120269.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/120269N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/120269N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
