The 1835 Head of 1836 variety uses an obverse die with a portrait style that anticipates the following year's design. The head is slightly modified in proportion and detail compared to standard 1835 dies, resembling the 1836 portrait. The Mint prepared dies continuously, and late-year dies sometimes incorporated stylistic changes before the calendar turned.
The Head of 1836 variety is collected as a distinct subtype within the 1835 date. Identifying the head type requires familiarity with the portrait differences between the standard 1835 and the modified 1836-style head. Reference images are the practical tool for attribution.
