Leading off this week's newsletter is a reminder from Jim
Matthews for collectors of bust dimes:
Come one, come all and send me your Draped Bust and Capped Bust dime census grades! I have received several lists via email and regular mail, but please send me your census information if you haven't already. Its time to update our collections! Graded or raw, give it your best shot.
Jim Matthews' email is:

Thank you!

I share Winston's gratitude for the weekly JRCS Newsletter. While it would be pleasurable to have many more articles, especially related to our "crown " coin, the early dollar, one only has to think of how barren Sundays would be without the Newsletter.
Another important gain for our early federal coinage is to have a new, knowledgeable, and specialized dealer in our own Dave Perkins.
Holiday Best Wishes,
Bob Stark

Readers should know that Mail Bid Sale #42 is set. It

Bidding will commence in a couple of weeks. Collectors
should go ahead and register now via the links found in the upper right corner
of the web pages. In the meantime, I'm happy to field questions from
anyone. That includes arranging preview of lots by mail.
Happy Holidays to all.
