This variety is the only 1846 Proof with the Tall Date. It was unknown to Howard Newcomb and it is extremely rare. Walter Breen listed two examples, with a third as a possible duplicate of one of the others. There are four examples in the Noyes and Loring lists. These are the only four known to us.
