<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24890837, member: 26430&quot;]While looking at <i>The Planchet </i>archives, I noticed the group&#039;s obituary in their Facebook page feed:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=779038150932233&amp;set=a.563421109160606" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=779038150932233&amp;set=a.563421109160606" rel="nofollow">Bio from Edmonton Numismatic Society on Facebook (11 Jan 2024, 4.04PM)</a>:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>OBITUARY - Terence Philip Cheesman</p><p><br /></p><p>1 June 1951 - 10 January 2024</p><p><br /></p><p>Terry, was a lifetime member of the ENS and for many years contributed ancient coin articles to The Planchet Numismatic Journal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Terry passed away peacefully after a short illness. Born in Edmonton, he was pre-deceased by his parents, Francis and Madeleine, and siblings Heather and Elaine. After graduating from the U. of A. with a B. A. in Classics, he found his calling with Canada Post as a letter carrier, serving for 30 years. Terry’s passions were history and numismatics. He will be remembered as a respected and well-known scholar, author, collector and lecturer in areas of ancient Greek and Roman coins, as well as an avid supporter of numismatic programs in academia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Terry had a wide circle of friends in the global numismatic community. His spirit, kindness, passion, and knowledge will be missed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Terrys collection of ancient Greek and Roman coins will appear in Classical Numismatic Group’s Feature Auction 126 in May, 2024, as the “Wild Rose Collection.”</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the last article of his <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">in the archives</a> (December 2022 issue [v69, n7]), tells the story of discovering his Persian Dishekel as a &quot;plate coin&quot; in Elayi/Elayi. A topic I always enjoy, and about which he often wrote (see also, e.g., his June 22 [69, 4] article).</p><p><br /></p><p>(November issue [69, 6] was Philip I; September [69, 5], Severans. And so on... Also w/ beautifully illustrated, interesting articles by Wayne Hansen, who many will recognize as T.C.&#039;s coin photographer. I wonder if an index for The Planchet exists yet, or at least of the articles on ancients...?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
