@ldhair, I'm a Capped Bust half dime geek - and wanted to let folks know, your 1835 Large Date/Large 5c half dime is the LM-2 marriage. It's a rarity 4 marriage and actually quite tough to find. In fact, as I was building my set, it took 2 years to find one, and I was keeping a pretty sharp eye peeled. (It was the last die marriage that I lacked... it took me another 2 years to find all the die remarriages which is a fun endeavor!)

Rarity 4 means that there are an estimated 76 to 200 LM-2s extant. No way to prove an R estimate, of course, but that holds up pretty well as compared to some other R4s that I see more frequently.

By way of comparison, I still watch closely, and I probably only see a handful of LM-2s every year. In contrast, for the 1835 LM-10, the uber-common R1 that is one of two Small Date / Small 5c varieties, I might see 30 or 40 per month. Maybe more.

GLWTS!

Thanks.
I didn't know that. It will be fun to see what it brings even as a details coin.
