The latest issue of the John Reich Journal, volume 21 issue 1, whole number 62, has been delivered to the membership. Any member who had received whole number 61 and not the current issue is advised to contact the secretary at the email address listed on the homepage of this site.

For many years, the John Reich Journal has been one of the best publications of a specialized numismatic organization. The articles are penned by many of its 450 members, many of whom are recognized experts on the subject of early Federal coinage. Each year the membership votes for the best article, and that author is awarded the Jules Reiver Literary Award.
