Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 6:45 pm A favorite coin shop of mine just entered into the second phase of a sale of coin books out of an estate. This was among my purchases today: The address on the inside would seem to date the distribution of this copy to the 1970's. What brought a smile to my face was the photo of the author on the inside of the dust jacket: An awful lot of us here, too, were once just so young.... * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 04/24/2018 10:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

rbjr85 Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 7:39 pm Probably one of the most, if not the most prolific writer in numismatic history. I don't think the man is capable of not writing. How does he find the time to write so much? Well I have a theory about that. I think he's a wizard capable of manipulating time and therefore able to create 72 hour days, giving himself more time to finish things. Or it could just be decades of accumulated numismatic knowledge combined with decades of experience as a writer. But no, I'm pretty sure it's magic. Report this Post to the Staff

I have gleaned that about his demeanor and passion from his writing style. I would someday love to meet him, but I doubt the likelihood of that ever occurring.
