Yes this die marriage has a group of high MS examples topping off at MS66, but finding a decent example in AU is pretty tough as they do not appear often for sale. Problem free circulated examples are rather scarce.

Variety Attribution: Obverse-Date is 8 1/2 mm. with 82 closer than 18 or 24. 4 recut over 4, top of first 4 shows to left of final 4. Often called over 1, but close examination will show it is the tip of a 4 and not a 1 that is visible.
Reverse- 50C is 2 1/4 mm. Arrow to A is 1/2 mm. Arrowheads are connected by die defects and the two lower ones are solidly joined to shafts above. A small die defect lump is in field between eagle's head and UN in scroll. A small vertical tine is at right side of O in OF. Letters of legend are very large, with words crowded together. Right stand of M in AMERICA is recut.
