JR Newsletter: 22 January 2017 (328)

Our first contribution this week comes from David Finkelstein. 

David wrote, "Here is an article for the JR Newsletter.  An interesting document was recently processed from the National Archives regarding the Bank of Maryland’s silver bullion deposit of July 18, 1794.  This document has resulted in a revision to the workflow of the first United States Mint."

Philadelphia EAC and Silver

The fiftieth anniversary EAC show will be held at the Doubletree Hotel in Philadelphia, PA from Thursday April 20 to Sunday April 23, 2017.  We have again been invited to display silver coins at the "happenings" event with a dedicated room for display.  Last year was a big success for silver with David Lisot even videotaping one of our prominent collectors during the event. 

The happenings occurs Thursday evening after the opening reception.  We generally choose one die marriage in each denomination.  We aim for a die marriage with interesting features/breaks that is common enough that at least several will show up at the show.  Please submit to me your nominations for die marriages to be studied. 

 There is no charge to attend the show or bourse.  Please send me your suggestions at cascades1787(at)yahoo.com
