1831 10C JR-2, PR65 NGC....

"The JR-2 die pairing is easily attributed. Star 7 is close to the cap and points to the headband center, and star 3 points between denticles. Stars 10 and 11 are close. Star 13 is close to the curl. On the reverse, the scroll begins under the space between ED and ends left of the center of the M. IT are close, and the upper serif of the D is recut to the left. The second T in STATES is above the E following. A minor design change in 1831 switched to three pale gules. Hyphenating this makes it clearer -- 'three-pale gules' -- and translating it into 'three-line stripes' makes it clearer still. The previous dimes had two-line vertical shield stripes, or two-pale gules."
