I received the last Pegasi Numismatics catalog Saturday. I was sad to reread about Eldert's passing. I saw him in London last October. He was reviewing coins in a Roma auction. He was in good spirits and we took turns looking at cast bronze coin trays. Several years ago, Eldert sent me down a slippery slope when he sold me my first Cast Bronze coin. I was amazed at the size of the Semis.
