The late Don Frederick displayed it from his personal collection during the 1991 100thAnniversary ANA “World’s Fair of Money” at the Rosemont O’Hare Convention Center (Chicago area). Don was a knowledgeable collector-dealer best known in Bust Halves circles. After some haggling, I was able to acquire the coin from Don via a private transaction. It became a very important addition to a growing Capped Bust Half Dimes collection durin ..read more

Brad Karoleff wrote: As the holidays race towards us there are a few things going on in the world of JRCS. As I’m sure all you remember I called for a jumbo issue of the journal for our 100th issue. The membership responded very positively granting me with almost a full double issue. With that came extra work that is almost done.

In my enthusiasm to put out a special issue I semi-planned for additional printing costs but did not think about needing different envelopes and the additional ..read more
