Richard Meaney wrote with a reminder about the JRCS early and capped bust half dime census:
If you own early half dimes or capped bust half dimes, please send your census to:
Richard Meaney: email is richard.meaney(at)yahoo.com or you may snail mail to Richard at this address – 3060 N Lazy Eight Ct, #294, Wasilla, AK 99654.
Your data should include the year, die marriage or remarriage, and grade for each coin you are reporting. The deadline for reporting is February 20, 2023. We usually associate collections with JRCS Membership Number, so if you provide that and your collection is one of the top fifteen (by completion percentage), your data will be labeled with your JRCS number, unless you ask us to anonymize it. Similarly, if you don't have a JRCS number, we will assign a random identifier to your collection (but seriously ...you should join the JRCS!).
Please note that the only component needed for report of grade is the numerical grade. It does not matter if the coin is in a PCGS, ANACS, NGC, CAC, or another holder. Your assessment of numerical grade is what the census will use. If you have a holed and cleaned coin with details of an XF40, it is totally up to you as to what numerical grade you report. If you want to call it a 40, you may. If you wish to net grade it based on problems and report a lower number, you may do that too.
