If you think about the mint during this time period they were going through key personnel changes, facility changes and additions, anticipating major equipment changes for both pressing and hub engraving, and anticipating changes to coinage due to the political landscape of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the broader implication here is that the mint numbers for 1835 for other denominations may only be representative for the <i>number</i> of coins minted that year but not their dates. I don&#039;t think I would have even noticed the discrepancy had I not been collecting by die marriage and seeing these coins all the time, but at some point it became clear that the mintage for 1834/35 did not match up with the apparent distribution of dates. I have heard this was also the case for the half dollar, but I&#039;m curious if other collectors have seen something similar for these years for other denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
