The AnswerMan

I just finished reading the April 30th issue of
NN. I think it's the first issue since Alan Herbert
died (Jan. 19) that didn't have a letter to the editor
praising him, lamenting his passing, or both. I
can't recall any well known numismatist getting
even of fraction of the attention The AnswerMan
got.

RIP Alan Herbert

That is sad. After all of those decades, I would think the magazine would owe him a large writeup.

 

His was always the first column I'd read........We'll all miss him.

 

Oh they gave him a nice write up. I'm just saying I never
saw so many letters about someone who died. He really
impressed a lot people over the years.

 

I heard his son got all of his coins and sold them to get Bruins season tickets for life. Nice.

 

I bet he had a lot of nice error coins.

 

I bet he had a lot of nice error coins.

 

Bit of machine doubling there?

 

Alan would say "no premium."

 

yah... just so you know... his son is a Wildcat (AZ)fan and would never buy Bruins tickets. Also should be noted that Alan was NOT a coin collector... he just had some that he liked. RIP Grandpa Alan...

 

RIP Alan Herbert
