jafo50 Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 12/20/2019 2:58 pm I have a raw 1847 Seated dollar in F12 to F15 condition. I was looking at the die marriages and to my untrained eye it appears that the coin is an OC-4 die marriage which is fairly rare. Would a rare die marriage add any value to the coin? I would imagine that only collectors' that collect die marriage pairs might see some value but how about the average collector? Here's the link that I used. http://www.seateddollarvarieties.com/1847.shtml Thanks Joe Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 11:08 am Yes, but to a VERY limited group of people. You won't find many SL dollar collectors that get that deep into those coins. So ID'ing and pricing them is not easy. I think(?) there's a SL society but you'll have to do some online searching to find them. Report this Post to the Staff
jafo50 Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 11:13 am Thanks for your reply kanga. I currently have someone interested in this coin and I wanted to pass along as much information as possible. I did spend some time trying to match up the die pairs and it wasn't as easy as it appeared. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 7:24 pm Yes, if it's a rare die pair, and you're not in a hurry to sell, I think there is added value. Not sure how much though, you could check the Heritage archives. Report this Post to the Staff
