-       48 coins are top pop or tied for top pop for the variety at PCGS

-       62 coins are top or second in JRCS 2019 condition census

-       5 coins are plate coins from the Logan-McCloskey half dime book

-       Notable provenances of the coins include Pittman, Newman, Childs, Reiver, Logan, McCloskey, David Davis, Peterson, Crain, and Matthews

The ANA has finalized their schedule for the upcoming convention in Chicago.

 

JRCS will have our annual meeting on Wednesday morning at 8:30AM in room 7 of the Stephens Convention Center.  We hope to see you there.

 

There will be a journal coming out just before the convention.  I do still, however, need some content.  Please consider sending something for inclusion in the next issue ASAP.

 

Thanks.
