<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24886370, member: 26430&quot;]Thanks for sharing that, I&#039;m sorry to hear. I wish I&#039;d communicated with him more often, but enjoyed those times I did and appreciated his posts (e.g., our recent exchange in Sulla&#039;s finding provenance post: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/finding-provenance.403741/page-2#post-24633097" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/finding-provenance.403741/page-2#post-24633097">#25</a>, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/finding-provenance.403741/page-2#post-24633634" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/finding-provenance.403741/page-2#post-24633634">#26</a>, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/finding-provenance.403741/page-2#post-24633886" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/finding-provenance.403741/page-2#post-24633886">#27</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>He contributed quite a lot to the online ancient coin community. I feel we shared some interests (e.g., a fondness for coins that had been published in the literature). Some other details:</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never been to Edmonton, but I knew he was a longtime officer of the Edmonton Coin Club, and often wrote for its fantastic publication, <i>The Planchet</i>: <a href="https://edmontoncoinclub.com/the-planchet/the-planchet-archived/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://edmontoncoinclub.com/the-planchet/the-planchet-archived/" rel="nofollow">Edmonton Coin Club &amp; archives of <i>The Planchet</i></a>. (The archive has PDFs of issues going back to the early 1980s. The more recent decades are of great quality, and I highly recommend checking them out. I&#039;ve perused or read almost all of them.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Several hundred of his coins were sold in 2017 as &quot;<a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=%22maple+leaf+collection%22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=%22maple+leaf+collection%22" rel="nofollow">The Maple Leaf Collection</a>&quot; (which he&nbsp; publicly claimed as his own). I&#039;ve noticed some appearing again recently without the collection history noted. I don&#039;t think I have any, but worth checking again.</p><p><br /></p><p>He did, however, catalog &amp; consign several of my favorite coins, including my Tarsus Stater, which turned out to have a fascinating backstory, and a Metapontum Nomos. They were not from his collection, but that of another Edmonton Coin Club member known only as &quot;J.B.&quot; who died in 2019 and entrusted his numismatic estate to Terrence Cheesman.</p><p>[ATTACH]1598444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1598442[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1598443[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
