Last Call for First Reeded Edge Half Dollar Census
Jim Koenings is reminding all JRCS Members to send him their Census information for Reeded Edge Half Dollars prior to October 1, 2018.
JRCS Members may request a form to fill out by emailing Jim at bustcoin1(at)verizon.net
There are 56 known die varieties, of which 18 are rated R-4 (76 to 200 known) or rarer, including two die varieties that are one known of each. With JRCS Members’ help, we will discover which die varieties are tougher to find than others. Currently, 31 die marriages are tied for 9th and 10th place in the Preliminary Census for Reeded Edge Halves. If you own more than 16 die marriages, your census may make the Top 15.
Please email your census to bustcoin1(at)verizon.netor you can mail a hard copy to:
Jim Koenings
P.O. Box 2382
Riverside, CA 92516
The results should be posted in the December 2018 JR Journal.
