Design and Specifications of the 1835 Cent

The 1835 Cent, part of the Coronet Head (also known as Matron Head) series, represents a significant period in early American coinage. This design, introduced in 1816, was a refinement of the Classic Head cent and continued until 1839. The year 1835 saw a substantial mintage, reflecting the growing economy and increased demand for small change in daily commerce.

Obverse Design Coronet Head (Matron Head) Liberty, designed by Robert Scot

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1835 Cents. While the coin is relatively common in circulated grades, specimens in Uncirculated condition are scarce. Coins with full original red color (RD) are particularly valuable, as most copper coins from this era have toned to brown.

The quality of strike can vary, with well-struck examples commanding a premium. Surface preservation is critical, with marks, scratches, and corrosion significantly impacting value.

Philadelphia, No Mint Mark

Mintage: 3,878,400

Rarity Scale: Common

Circulation Status: Widely Circulated

Preservation Rarity: Scarce in grades MS65 and above

Varieties Errors: Small 8 and Large 8 in date varieties

Market Demand: Moderate, with higher demand for high-grade specimens

Die varieties can add interest and value for specialized collectors. The 1835 Cent has both Small 8 and Large 8 varieties in the date, with the Large 8 being slightly scarcer.

Provenance can also impact value, with coins from famous collections or with a documented history of ownership potentially commanding a premium.

The overall eye appeal of the coin, including factors like toning and luster, can significantly influence its desirability among collectors, especially for higher-grade examples.
