The pics are OK. They seem to be a bit too much contrast in them though. The whites are too white and the dark areas too dark. Adding a second or third light may help even out this effect.
How does the coin look in hand versus the pics? You are really in a better position to tell the accuracy of them.
Take care...Mike
Your coin is the 1835 JR1 Variety. A common die marriage that can has some fun properties depending on die state. I believe your coin to be an example of the middle die state in the life of this marriage. I can see a very fine crack from the rim to the tip of the leftmost leaf on the reverse. If it were an early die state the crack wouldn't be there. The crack is very fine though so it hadn't been around long at the time of your coins minting. Later in the life of this reverse die (Die A) a quite striking cud develops on the lower right side. The cud goes from the period at "C" up through the arrow heads, into A3 and then into the rim. A coin with the die crack yours has and the cud would be evidence of a later die state. Basically to sum it up you've got a good looking AU 1835 JR1 middle die state coin.
