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.
