There are only 2 varieties for this year: JR-1 and Jr-2. Both share the same obverse. The reverse in JR-2 is different from JR-1 in that the top of the 1 is pointed. There are minor differences in the word AMERICA as well (the spacing of the letters being closest on JR-2).
I've had this example for some years now. It is in a slab graded VG10. A fairly dark example, very difficult to photograph!
It used to be considered a R-7 many years ago, then an R-5+. Does anybody know what the current rarity rating is?

no clue on the rarity rating, but a nice pick up
BHNC #203
a jan 2021 sale at HA shows it listed as R5 but i don't know if they have an expert in-house or just use the most recent publication (which could be outdated.
