The purpose of the John Reich Collectors Society (JRCS) is to encourage the study of numismatics, particularly United States gold and silver coins minted before the introduction of the Seated Liberty design, and to provide technical and educational information concerning such coins.
The John Reich Journal is the official publication of the Society, and is distributed to all members in good standing. Each year, the membership votes for the best article published in the previous year, and that author is presented with the Jules Reiver Literary Award. The Journal Index provides an index search to locate articles in issues from 1986 to the present.
For more information on what the JRCS is all about, and for some interesting insights into collecting early U.S. coins, watch this video interview of JRCS President and JR Journal Editor, Brad Karoleff, recorded at a Florida United Numismatists (FUN) Convention several years ago.
There is a new Article Keyword search option for ease of locating articles of interest. Select the JR Journal Index page under Publications, and enter a word to two to search the article titles.
Also, we encourage you to explore the new pages available in the Resources section: Online Resources, Educational Presentations, Recordings of Meetings, Late Die State Showcase, and R7 and R8 Gallery. These pages are being populated as resources and information become available.
