The latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is the John Reich Journal. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor
The John Reich Journal, published by the John Reich Collectors Society (JRCS), is now accessible on the Newman Portal for the years 1986-2014. Launched by David Davis in 1986, the
Journal focuses on early United States silver (and to a lesser extent gold) coinage bearing the Flowing Hair, Draped Bust, and Capped Bust designs.
Davis served as club president until 2011, and Brad Karoleff has capably served in the same position since. Karoleff is also the current Journal editor. Authors in the Journal
include John McCloskey, Russell Logan, Steve Crain, Jules Reiver, and many others. More recently, David Finkelstein and Garrett Ziss have contributed important articles. Many thanks to JRCS president
Brad Karoleff for assistance with this project.
