    Yes she is worn, however I can tell I believe to be a large 8, however that's pretty much it on the variety. 20200520_203747.jpg 20200520_203710.jpg

    In 1835 they used two different head styles typically called the head of 34 and the head of 36. There are some differences in the profile, but the most noticeable difference is the front point of the bust.

    You will also note the neck is thinner on the head of 36.

    The head of 34 with the large 8 is only found on N-1 and N-9 (both use the same obv die, the head of 34 I showed above is a N-1 like yours) As I mentioned above the point of leaf below S2 is Near Center. on N-9 it is below the right edge of the S. Here is the rev of N-9

    If you want to see all of the varieties of 1835 they can be found here, click on the coin photo to see enlarged images of both sides.

    N= Equals the die variety numbers that were assigned in book by Howard Newcomb, I believe in 1940. As a generalist collector, I get involved with these only on a limited basis. You coin has been attributed as an 1835, N-1 R (rarity) 1 indicates that it is quite common.

    S2, I believe refers to the second S in "STATES" on the reverse.
