Three die marriages are known for 1835 quarter eagles. Die state information suggests that some of the mintage delivered in 1835 may have been dated 1834, a supposition supported by the relative rarity of the two dates in the marketplace. While the published mintage of 1834 is lower than that of 1835, the latter date is far scarcer, particularly in high grades. David Akers discussed this in his auction record analysis, writing "the auction records clearly indicate (and experience confirms it) that the 1835 is significantly more difficult to obtain in high grades."

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the D. Brent Pogue Part II Auction, where it realized $52,875.
