The 1835 has a decently large mintage, but I found it incredibly difficult to find one for my collection. I wanted a nice, grey, EF-40, problem free coin for a decent price - and they apparently are very hard to come by! The asterisk looking thing on her neck appears to be just some coincidentally placed marks, and is not graffiti. Anyways, finally found this one, in a very old ANACS slab. Conder, can you tell me anything about the slab? The underprinting is blue, if it helps.

The reason that 1835s are so much harder to find as a date than their listed mintage would indicate is because a significant amount of them are dated 1834. This is also why 1834 as a date is more common than one would think based merely on the published mintage.

 

4 of the 21 die marriages for 1834 were actually struck in 1835 and included in the mint numbers for 1835. (For that matter 1 DM for 1834 was actually struck in and included in the 1836 mintage figures.)

 

Your O-105 seems to be reasonable for the assigned grade and as well struck as any--and better struck than many--examples I have seen. All 105s (and most other 1835s as well) show the weakness in the motto as well as poorly struck up hair above the eye.

That is a great looking coin! OK's comments are right on. Think of another year that used 10 die marriages (1810 1812 and 1813 come to mind) and you will get a much better representation of what the actual mintage was. Seems like every time I get the urge to snag a decent AU '35, there isn't one to be found and I move on to other things.

Thanks guys.

 

In my experience, an attractive 1835 is much more difficult than an 1812 or 1813. Maybe I got lucky with the '12 and '13 - but they sort of just fell into my lap without even trying. I was actively searching for an 1835 for a year before finding this one.

Nice original coin in a vintage holder. What does the EX2003 stand for? Is that a serial or certification # ? If so, it is really low. This must mean it is one of the very earliest, which, I would think, should add to the allure.
