I'm a member of the John Reich Society and I have received my paper copies of the Journal this year (2020). I cannot explain why 2020 is on the...
Thanks to you all for your thoughts. The coin is going in the "duplicate" box and the search starts for a nice AU-55/58 chocolate brown...

The 69 and 72 are always goodies. Yes to G4 and AG3 on those. The 05 looks like it has a pretty significant gash under TE that would probably...
