I'm sure Russ knows this but am asking others (64 Proof Kennedy)

Is there a variety designation for the obverse Die 2 and reverse Die 1, from the TPG's?

in other words a Non AH Kennedy OBV and the REV that was used for the first runs that included the AH.

Diagnostics for the AH are eaisly distinguised by the truncated serif on the bottom of "I" in LIBERTY on the obverse. The reverses of all the AH share common diagnostics (I am pretty sure). When the coin was minted after the die changes some of the original reverse dies were used with the revamped non AH obv.

sorta but not at all like an 08/07 ASE....lol only backwards and the same mint year.....but they do call this 08/07 a die variety and not an error?

    it's a die marriage...i darn near couldn't unload the one i had...mine...it was a ngc pr65 ucam too

    non a/h obverse (type-2) with an a/h reverse (type-1)

    i wonder why no praise as bust half dollars with overton die marriages seem to find respect

    you will find coneca has attribute numbers for what you have

    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see

    with all the hoopla of other coins of a "die marriage" this one apparently has "died"

    thanks for the reply and correct terminology.

    I'm not quite sure...if it's a variety but i think it's called a "transitional"...if I'm not mistaken.

    Yes it is, and they sell for the same as a Non-AH kennedy...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
