Picked up this 1833 dime, “Last 3 High” feature is clear on the obverse. Trying to determine if it’s the common JR-5 or the rare JR-7. Weighs 2.61g, ~18.5mm, original surfaces, no cleaning. Photos attached. Any specialists able to attribute? Thanks.

    No, it's not a Last 3 High. You are overconfident in your abilities, which is dangerous when it comes to buying coins. Time to go back to square 1 and reflect on what is going wrong with your variety attributions. You will want to figure out whether it's a problem of understanding or simply not having the eye for it.

    Neither; it's a JR-1
