Im sure some ancient collectors will remember the a collector that posted here, Rudi Smits. Well I just read on facebook be passed suddenly. http://www.cointalk.com/members/rudi-smits.44944/
Really? What a shame. I was wondering just the other day whatever happened to Rudi. He is already missed.
Oh wow. I have three coins on their way to me in the mail from him right now. I am sorry to hear this. He was a fun person to chat with. Even when I won his coins at auction for cheap!
Yes, I read about it on Facebook as well, posted and sent his daughter an email. Unfortunately, I have ongoing business with Rudi. He has three coins already paid for and I was about to get the lot I recently posted. I don't have any idea what's going to happen with this deal. I have talked to Rudi quite a lot. He was a pretty good guy, awesome dealer and stood for fair and honest coin sales. He sure was funny too, a barrel of laughs! I will miss the guy for sure! R.I.P.
It is always sad to hear of a person's passing. One has to think of his family and how they might be suffering. I wish them courage and fortitude in this difficult time.
