Capped Bust Dime Varieties

Billet7

I collect quarters, but I pick up the occasional dime when the opportunity presents itself, and I got these cheep. Anyone know the varieties. I don't own the book. If you don't mind helping, I would sure appreciate it.

The 1831 is a JR-1.
The 1834 looks like a JR-1 or JR-3.
I'm going with 1, since the 3 is a R-5
Maybe a real expert will reply.

What's the most up to date book for attributing these and determining rarity?

Early United States Dimes, 1796-1837, by Davis et.al.
Out of print, expensive, and hard to find.
Rich Uhrich has a couple.

Not looking to flip really. I was kicking around the idea of using one for a tie pin. (And the last thing I want to do is ruin an R-7) I have been looking for one with nice details and a messed up reverse or rim. These are mostly problem free, and I would have to kick my own butt for ruining a problem free, original coin. I will wait till the right coin comes along. Still, thanks for the variety help.

That wasnt for you Simon. That site is great for looking up varieties though. Have fun.
