The next JRCS Zoom call is Wednesday May 20, just a month away. I'm looking for a presenter or two to share their experience, questions, and learnings with their fellows. Any topic befitting the JRCS members' interests of any duration is fine. Please reach out! skelly63(at)gmail.com

(Note, if we don't get a volunteer, I plan on playing a 58 minute video of Sean Kelly and Brad Karoleff performing their no-spoken-word show, The Nuances of the Mint Act of 1837 through the medium of modern interpretive dance, accompanied by bagpipe music. There are seven costume changes. It's magical.) 

Reminder:  Sean is also asking for help from Capped Bust dime collectors. The GroovyCoins website was started for the attribution of half dimes but now has a section to allow folks to attribute the dimes as well: https://groovycoins.com/cbdattribution

The site has the bare minimum number of attributes for all dies, but he would appreciate help from dime experts in fleshing the selectable criteria to make the site more useful and friendly. Your contributions would include more details about the most subtle and confusing dies to attribute.Thanks!
