Bill Bugert's 2016 Register of Liberty Seated Half Dollar Varieties, Volume 5 describes this coin as a "centerpiece of a Liberty Seated half dollar collection" due to its extreme rarity, a sentiment echoed by the *Cherrypickers' Guide*, which calls it "one of the true rarities of the entire series." The variety features a widely repunched date, with fragments of all four digits visible northwest of the primary date under little or no magnification, and the lower loop of a misplaced 9 protruding from the rock base between the 4 and 9.
Walter Breen's 1988 reference notes fewer than six examples known, all but one in low grades, making it a "spectacular blunder" comparable to other notable varieties like the error vareities found in the dates 1844-O, 1845-O, and 1846, but less frequently seen.
The coin exhibits olive-tan and slate-gray tones swirled across both sides, with a few minor abrasions that do not detract from its appeal. Wiley and Bugert's Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars rates it High R.7 in XF/AU condition and R.8 in Mint State, underscoring its conditional rarity. This offering is a significant opportunity for the Seated half dollar specialist seeking a rare and visually striking variety.
