Just heard George Fuld has passed away. A brief quote from his friend Tony Lopez:

"George was not only a pioneer in numismatic and exonumia research, but also an extraordinary gentleman. George helped me with various projects over the years on historic and Indian Peace medals, and was an absolute encyclopedia. Despite the width and breadth of his incredible expertise, George was open to new ideas and discoveries and was never dogmatic about his knowledge."

I met George back in the late 1980's at a coin show, he was a really knowledgable man when it came to tokens - and he helped me attribute the few I had.

R.I.P. George.

Quick edit â€" George Fuld (vs. Feld)

I have a number of Mr. Fuld's works on my bookshelf. He (along with his father) was certainly a giant in the field of tokens and medals. He will be missed.
