<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NSP, post: 3443411, member: 74849&quot;]The Early United States Dimes book claims that 1825 JR-1 is R4, 1825 JR-3 is R3, and 1825 JR-5 is R5. It’s worth noting that these estimates were made 35 years ago, so they are subject to variability. I haven’t looked into 1825’s too much, though from what I’ve read, JR-5 is probably more common than R5 (since more examples have turned up in the last 35 years).</p><p><br /></p><p>With that in mind, the Mega Red Book’s estimates are probably not too far out of line with reality. Probably the best way to think of them is that JR-2 and JR-4 are fairly common and JR-1, 3, and 5 are scarcer and worth keeping an eye out for at reasonable prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>All in all, 1825 doesn’t have a really tough die marriage (like how 1821 has JR-2 and 1829 has JR-10). That said, 1825 JR-4 does have a pretty spectacular obverse cud (even more so than the one on JR-1) that connects stars 8 through 11. That one is definitely worth keeping an eye out for!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: here is an image of the 1825 JR-4 obverse cud and a link talking about it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]914364[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="http://jr-newsletter.blogspot.com/2012/01/jr-newsletter-29-january-2012-73.html?m=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jr-newsletter.blogspot.com/2012/01/jr-newsletter-29-january-2012-73.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://jr-newsletter.blogspot.com/2012/01/jr-newsletter-29-january-2012-73.html?m=1</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
