1835 LM-9 re-marriages
LM-9.1    LM-9.2

Differentiating the 1835 LM-9.1 from the LM-9.2 is quite simple do to the massive die break on the LM-9.2.  Both the LM-9.1 and LM-9.2 share die cracks between D  S from the rim to the scroll, and from the dentils to the tops of the O and A-3.  The massive die break of the LM-9.2 starts at the rim and goes diagonally to the top of the scroll at E.  The same crack continues along the top of the scroll intersecting the die crack between D  S and continuing to the B in PLURIBUS, then up diagonally to the left side of E-2 to the rim.
