We had a number of contributions this week. First, from David Perkins:
Most of the half dollar collectors and many others have likely seen the PCGS Press Release announcement of a new die marriage for the 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar, the first new 1795 FH 50C die marriage in over 90 years! If not, below are links to the PCGS Press Release and a the PCGS Forum discussion on the discovery with photos and details of the key attribution points. (photo posted above!)

In response to Brad's request for input about the surprise contained in the JR Journal:
Wow! The new format of the John Reich Journal looks great and the color cover and inside pages are a very much welcome addition. Please keep it up as it really raises the bar for JRCS. The changes are greatly appreciated!
