Dr. Glenn Peterson provides this week's only contribution:
Hi Members of JRCS,
I wish to invite members and guests
to come to the JRCS meeting at ANA on
Wednesday, August 12th at 8 AM in Room 44 of the Donald E. Stephens Convention
Center. We will have two presentations at the meeting. One will be given by our
young numismatist member Garrett Ziss on the subject of bust coin images on
paper currency. He has found several attributable images of bust coins on the
paper money of that era. After Garrett's presentation, David Finkelstein will
give a presentation about U.S. Mint history. I am sure members will find these
presentations very interesting.
We will be having an open house for
members of JRCS and guests on Wednesday evening. At that meeting we will
conduct a die state study of selected bust half dimes, dimes, quarters and
dollars. Members have voiced their preference of certain marriages to study for
half dimes and quarters, but we have not yet heard from members about which
bust dime and bust dollar would be interesting to study.
BUST DIME COLLECTORS AND
BUST DOLLAR COLLECTORS PLEASE CONTACT ME gpeters(at)tds.net ABOUT DIE MARRIAGES THAT WOULD BE
INTERESTING TO STUDY AT THE MEETING.
Members have suggested we study bust half
dime 1829 LM-6 at the meeting and quarter collectors have suggested that we
study 1836 B1 as these coins have very interesting die states. PLEASE BRING
YOUR EXAMPLES OF THESE DIE MARRIAGES TO THE OPEN HOUSE FOR STUDY. The bust half
dollar die state study will be done separately in conjunction with the Bust
Half Nut Club meeting Thursday 2:00 PM and will focus on 1828 half
dollars. Please bring your 1828 bust half dollars on Thursday afternoon.
Making friendships with
fellow numismatists and sharing information about the coins we collect enhances
the hobby. Please join us.
Glenn Peterson MD
