Early 1835 Capped Bust Half Dime, Small Date!

[☠️🏴☠️SCOLINO🏴☠️☠️]

My first half Dime!



There were two major varieties that dealt with the size of the 1835 date on the obverse of the coin and two major varieties that dealt with the size of the "5 C." on the reverse of the coin. This made up 4 different available combinations of varieties. Depicted below is an example image comparing the differences between the Large Date vs Small Date and a second example comparing the differences between the Large 5C vs Small 5c 1835 Capped Bust Half Dimes. It is fairly easily to differentiate the varieties:
