This one has a double or partial double profile. Is it N-1, N-2, or N-3?

This coin is an N-2 1/2. The half designation denotes the double profile. The diagnostic die crack through the stars is also visible in the photo. As a 2 1/2 the rarity is an R.3 (scarce). I'll grade the coin as an EAC 12 which corresponds to an F-15 market grade.
1834 N-2 1/2 R.3 12/12.

Thanks Celtic, I had no idea a 1/2 designation was used.

Newcomb used the 1/2 and 3/4 designations for coins with double and tripled profiled coins. At the time they didn't know what caused them but once they realized they were machne doubling on already known varieties the 1/2 and 3/4 designations fell into disuse.
