This is an extremely rare die marriage, catalogued by Walter Breen as 7-H and unique. Robert P. Hilt, II, stated 13 examples of this variety exist. Robert W. Miller, Sr., in United States Half Eagle Gold Coins, 1795 to 1834 , stated at least three known. Although probably not unique, it is almost certain that less than 13 are known. Walter Breen identified a single example from the Waldo Newcomer and Col. Green Collections. The pedigree of this example is not further identified.
