  • Looking for a club or group of collectors that share your affinity for the Capped Bust Half Dime?

    Look no further than the "John Reich Collectors Society". The group doesn't focus solely on the CBH10¢ but all of Reich's designs. It is a great home for us half dime nerds.

    They create and distribute a regular journal, coordinate and publish census's and hold meetings and lectures at various major coin shows.

Now, officially I'm a date set collector but in reality I'm collecting the major variety set but just haven't admitted it to myself yet.
