Not sure if the recut 1 in 10 C. is a tough variety, but thought I'd post it

    Did you buy them all from the same source? They all look to be in similar 2X2's.

    I do not collect the series, but that sure does look like a recut 1.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Very nice original looking coins image

    I do have one question: Does the 1831 have a porous or beat up obverse, or is that just the image?

    Here are the die marriage attributions:

    1831 JR-5 R-1
    1833 JR-6 R-1
    1832 JR-4 R-3

    They all look like nice no problem circulated examples. that is how they should all look! Congratulations! image

    Thanks for the replies (and the attributions Quarternut)

    The Obverse on the 1831 isn't quite that chatty in hand. Just some nice original coins.

    Those look really nice. I can't look at too many of them or I may get distracted and spend some money that I don't have!

    For some reason, I bookmarked this thread. I thought I would repost it for those who missed it. Looks like a nice little run of coins.

    (Not sure why I bookmarked it--maybe an accident?)

    My collection started with a single dime for a type set.

    Then I bought the EUSD book.

    Then I bought another dime.

    Then I joined the JRCS.

    Don’t buy dimes.

    Dimes are for pay phones.

    If you buy dimes ... Your kids won’t go to college. You will quit dating. Megan Fox will dump you. You will drive an old car. You will leave coin shows frustrated that you can’t find a nice dime. Friends will try to buy your dimes. You will obsess over die states. You will drink single malt scotch. You will document each dime for die defects. Finally, you will stop collecting any other series.

    BTW, I will buy your dimes.
