<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 26696445, member: 105571&quot;]That book does show the Variety 2 (JR-2) as an R-5.&nbsp; But that book was published in 1984.&nbsp; The later book by Zack et. al., copyright 2015 <i>Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide</i> lists the JR-2 as R-4.&nbsp; This is a classic example of a rarity rating declining as time goes by and more examples come to light.</p><p><br /></p><p>The LM book on dimes is very much still relevant as it provides much more detail on the series, particularly die states and emission orders.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect Capped Bust Half Dimes by die marriage and there are many examples in that series where the original Logan-McCloskey rarity ratings have had to be modified due to more examples being discovered since the original publication of the LM half dime book in 1998.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the OP&#039;s 1823 dime, he never showed us a photo of this coin but only told us it is a &quot;Large E&quot; coin.&nbsp; If a firm attribution is desired, please post obverse and reverse shots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
