Message:: [QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2394426, member: 76111"]I see that CNG 102 is now online.  As with the most recent CNG eAuctions, there are coins from Tom Cederlind's estate which CNG appears to be liquidating, which makes me sad.  As I look through the lots, there are several coins I recognize from browsing his stock and even some he approached me with specifically thinking I might need it for my collection.  Tom was the first dealer to really take me under his wing when I started into ancients.  I bought a few coins from him here and there, but he and Mike always recognized me in person and I was greeted like an old friend when I'd see them at a coin show. This was when most dealers considered me a looky-loo and wouldn't give me the time of day.   He was the first dealer to "represent" me at auctions, reviewing and reporting on the coins I was interested in and then bidding at the auction.  While I moved on to form other relationships, Tom always had a special place in the hobby for me and I miss him.  In fact, lot 819 the Caesar denarius is my coin that Tom bought for me at NAC in 2009 along with another Caesar denarius I still have.  It guess it's fitting that it's getting sold along with Tom's other coins.[/QUOTE]
