This week, we have contributions from Glenn Peterson and Steve Tompkins. First, Glenn wrote:
Hi JRCS members,
I am looking forward to ANA this year in Chicago. I am coordinating
several of the meetings so I want to announce these meetings.
BHNC open
meeting (everyone invited to participate) will be on Thursday August 7th
at 2:00 pm in room 42. After greeting members and guests we will have a
program on double struck bust halves. I will be presenting the study of
the double profiles and have found some interesting facts regarding
the double profile halves. Please come and engage in the discussion
about how the mint came to produce these interesting coins. After the
meeting we will have a die state study of 1827 bust halves part 2
O-125 and above.
Bust Quarter Collector Society will meet on Wednesday August 6 at 2:00 pm in room 40.
John
Reich Collector's Society will have it annual meeting Wednesday morning
August 6th at 8:00 AM in room 22 of the convention center. David
Finkelstein will be giving an educational presentation at the JRCS meeting.
Please come to the annual
meetings -- I look forward to visiting with everyone. Friendship in the
numismatic community is what I value most in the hobby!

NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS!!!
The 5th edition of Auction
Appearances & Prices Realized for Early United States Quarters 1796 - 1838 or
the AAPR is at the printer! They should be ready
just prior to the ANA.
This compilation encompasses over 6000
auction listings and almost 200 pages, from over 10 years of study and
research, and up to 20 years of statistical information relating to the
individual die marriages found in the Bust Quarter series.
Listed on each page you will find much more
than just a list of auction appearance and what that particular coin sold for.
You will also find a listing of the grading service and the unique serial
number given to each coin when available, as well as die stage information and
cataloger comments. All grades from all die marriages of the Bust
Quarter series from 1796 to 1838 are included in this list.
Some of the benefits include: Tracking
pedigrees and price fluctuations. An updated condition census for each
marriage. See rarities of both the whole die marriage and grade rarities within
each die marriage. Track the price differences of NGC & PCGS, as well as the addition of a CAC sticker. All for less than a
tank of gas!
