#4 ~ Jay Cline: Praised by Many after His Passing

2023

Since 2010 this website has been dedicated to

perpetuating the Legacy of

Hermon Atkins MacNeil

# # # # #

Jay H. Cline

has been a majorly contributor

to that Legacy

He literally wrote the book on The Standing Liberty Quarter.
That book became “the collector’s Bible” for that mintage.
Through four Editions (between 1975 1nd 2007) he updated, expanded, and refined his research.
He ran J. H. Cline Rare Coins specializing in the The Standing Liberty Quarter for more that forty years.
No other numismatist has devoted as much research, writing, publication, and business practice to the knowledge, identification and appreciation of Hermon MacNeil’s creative design.
A Row of Liberty Standing Quarters is our LEAD Header.
This is our 4th Posting in August 2023 telling some of the story of this amazing Numismatist.

Jay H. Cline

After his death …

Over a 100 messages of condolence from collectors

were posted on the

Many who met JAY expressed their sorrow.

Many who never met him shared condolences.

Many more had only met him through his book on the SLQ.

ALL felt a sorrow and void with loss of a dedicated expert.

EXAMPLES:

I’m shocked and this is hard to believe. Last I saw him he was in good shape and animated; looked like he had 10-20 years more before retirement.
I met him only once but he was a genuinely nice guy and easy to talk to. Condolences to the family.
Sad news. Jay had a coin shop in Dayton Ohio for years. … Miss his coin stories! RIP Jay.
My sympathies to Mr. Cline’s family.
Immediately thought of the dealer with the Top Hat and Standing Liberty Quarters. Rest in Peace! >>
