My most recent pick up and this die marriage is possibly the most rarest of all SF Mint Liberty Seated half dollars. Thanks for your thoughts on this one.

Nice coin. Patina a bit too dark to easily see the die damage. I hope something of it is mentioned on the slab label.

Here is the grade! This is the third known of this die marriage and the highest grade of the three.

That is cool! NGC tends to grade liberally, if it were raw in my collection I would say 50 net 45. Old cleaning but thoroughly and naturally retoned. Appears to be a very nice coin, I like it!
Was there a premium associated to this marriage or was it a cherrypick?
