Tied For Finest Known

Three die marriages are known for the 1846 D half eagle with normal mint mark. Ironically, this one features the reverse formerly having a boldly repunched D, but the die was sufficiently repolished to remove the duplicate mint mark. This date with the normal reverse is by far the more rare variety. NGC has graded just one other as MS 61 and none finer (7-12).
