JR Newsletter: 28 July 2024 (637)

 First, a reminder that the John Reich Collectors Society will have its annual general meeting for members and interested non-members at the ANA World's Fair of Money.  The meeting will be at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, August 7 in Room 12 of Rosemont's Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.

Chris Pilliod will be our guest speaker and his topic is the silver plug dollars of 1795.  If you have one and would like to share it with the membership, please consider bringing it to the meeting. 

At our annual meeting we will award the Jules Reiver Literary Award for 2023 and induct a new member into the JRCS Hall of Fame as well as elect a new slate of officers.  Non-members can sign up for membership at the meeting if they'd like!

W. David Perkins Rare Coins will be at ANA

 

I will have Corner Table 1209 at the 2024 ANA Convention in Chicago.  Jim Matthews will be sharing the booth with me.  Richard Meaney, long time Half Dime Specialist will also be working in the booth.

 

First of all, has anyone seen the Discovery Coin and only known example of the 1822 B-3 Capped Bust Quarter?  I have, and it just sold and changed hands in July 2024.  I will have this coin on display at my Table 1209 Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday if you’d like to see it!   Jim and I will have more than two dozen rare early quarters for sale, many R-5 to R-7.

 

I will have a nice selection of early U.S. Silver Dollars 1795 to 1803 for sale, from R-3 to R-8, all in nice collector grades.  For example, a 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar in PCGS AU53 (CAC}.  Also for sale will be two 1795 R-7 Flowing Hair Dollar die marriages and one R-8 marriage.  For 1796 how about a very rare 1796 BB-66, B-1 Small Date Small Letters Dollar in PCGS VF30 (CAC).  Or a colorful and exceptionally nice 1797 B-1, BB-73 Small Eagle Dollar in PCGS AU53!

 

Draped Bust Dollars include an R-7 1798  B-18, BB108, the finest known for the die marriage, in PCGS F12.  And a lustrous 1799 B-10, BB-163 in a popular PCGS AU58 grade.  For 1803, I’ll have an example of the 12 Arrows Type in PCGS AU50 and an 1800 B-14, BB-194 “Dotted Date” in PCGS VF35 (CAC).  To round it out, there are two 1801 dated and two 1802/1 Dollars.

 

We will also have a selection of early Half Dimes and Dimes, including a couple R-7s and an R-8.

 

I will also be buying, and accepting quality consignments.  

 

Please stop by and say Hello!
