Thank you, David Finkelstein, for the articles you have been contributing to the JR Newsletter.  They are a superb synthesis of early U.S. Mint history.  I look forward to each installment.

Next, a JRCS get-together opportunity from Gawain O'Connor:

The JRCS meeting at Portland was a lot of fun. If members in the Northwest would like to meet again, I can arrange a meeting at the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association convention on May 2 in Tukwila (Seattle area). Perhaps for an informal discussion in the aftermath of the Hilt collection sale.
