1835 provides considerable interest for the more casual collector of major design variations. In this year, both obverse and reverse designs went through font changes. Obverse dies exist with both large and small dates, and reverse dies have both large and small denominations. All four possible combinations exist. This year also saw the highest recorded mintage of any date in the series, with 2,760,000 half dimes produced. Six obverse dies and eight reverse dies were combined for this coinage to create 11 different die marriages and two remarriages. Several of these varieties are scarce, however, there are no major rarities.
