[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3362125, member: 8959"]A nice example of the 1828 JR-1! You are making very good progress with your collection. 1828 is an underrated date, specially the JR-2, large date. Concerning the differences between JR1 and JR-2: it is now believed that both JR-1 and JR-2 were struck in a closed collar, and both have in fact the same diameter. The key difference is the different obverse of JR-2 which has a larger date, curl base 2 and more widely spaced denticles in the old style of 1809-1827. This was news to me. This information is contained in the recent 4th edition of the Mega Red Book which has en extended section dedicated to dimes. Very interesting read.[/QUOTE]
