Happy Summer! A June 2022 JLRC Report

Happy summer! I hope you have been enjoying good times with friends and family, and with your collections. This May, I had the opportunity to spend some time away with my own family on a trip to Tuscany. It was a fortnight of great food, wine, art, history, and beautiful scenery that was very much needed after a couple of years without a proper vacation.

My return coincided with an onslaught of cataloging work and so there have been limited opportunities to update this site. That isn’t to say I don’t have plenty of updates to make. Indeed, there are a number of terrific new acquisitions I intend on imaging and posting in the run-up to the Ottawa RCNA Convention this July, where I will be balancing duties as both a dealer and president of the hosting Ottawa Numismatic Society. Make sure to check back regularly for new listings.

In the meantime please feel free to send along updated want lists. There is a good chance I may be sitting on just the right token or medal for your collection, and a quick email could potentially give you first crack at it. Along the same lines, I continue to be a strong buyer of better Canadian historical medals and other numismatica. If you have something you’ve been thinking about selling, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I am looking forward to a busy month ahead and hope to see many of you in our nation’s capital July 22 to 24.
