Never met or had dealings with him but wish I had. Any UK members knew him? Report this Post to the Staff

capsnhawks Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 07/19/2013 10:00 am Yes, very sad to hear news like this. I wonder, though, since he ran his coin and medal business from his home, if he was murdered while his house was being burglarized. The article reports that the police have a suspect in custody for the murder, but makes no reference to the house being broken into. Irregardless of the circumstances, a terribly sad story.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/19/2013 11:21 am Off topic, How does someone who operates from home, doesn't travel, doesn't do coin fairs (shows), doesn't have the internet, run a coin business? Buys from ads and has people bring them by his home? Dealer come by his home to sell him things? Just seems odd. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2869 Posts	Posted 07/19/2013 12:31 pm I didn't deal with hiim and it's very sad news indeed. Good that they have caught the likely perpetrator. He may have went to shows to buy - my reading of it was that he didn't sell at shows. There is no mention of auctions - another strong contender for purchasing an inventory. I remember back in the 1980's buying a lot of coins from a dealer called Don McRae who sold everything via carefully described typed up A4 pages - that was it - no photos back then. Alas he has also passed on - as so many of the dealers I used to buy from have. :( My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
