<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 6592124, member: 110350&quot;]It seems that the U.S. mathematician was indeed the Errett Bishop to whose collection my new Metellus coin belonged. See <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3165#:~:text=Errett%20especially%20loved%20ancient%20coins,from%20about%201960%20to%201982" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3165#:~:text=Errett%20especially%20loved%20ancient%20coins,from%20about%201960%20to%201982" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=3165#:~:text=Errett especially loved ancient coins,from about 1960 to 1982</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p>The Errett Bishop Collection</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Errett Albert Bishop (July 14, 1928 - April 14, 1983) was an American mathematician known for his work on analysis and a professor at the University of California at San Diego. He expanded constructive analysis in his 1967 Foundations of Constructive Analysis, where he proved most of the important theorems in real analysis by constructive methods. (see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errett_Bishop" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errett_Bishop" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errett_Bishop</a>).</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>He was also a great father and a fun-loving guy who would take his family biking, surfing, snorkeling, camping, etc. He enjoyed going to auctions, where he would often pick up an interesting artifact or a piece of art. Errett&#039;s son, Edward, in the photograph with his father on the right, describes his childhood home as half junk-yard, half museum. Errett especially loved ancient coins, and he was one of the founding members of the Ancient Coin Club in San Diego.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>The Errett Bishop Collection includes over 1000 Ancient Greek, Roman Republic, Roman imperial, Roman provincial, Celtic, Judaean, Byzantine and other ancient coins collected from about 1960 to 1982. The collection includes 136 coins from Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. The variety of types and the range from inexpensive to beautiful showcase coins means there are coins in this collection for almost every collection and every budget. Due to the size of the collection, it will be some time before they are all added to the shop. Keep looking here or in our recent additions to see them as we add them.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
