  1. Congratulations to Mark on his incredible career and achievements!
  2. I was very sad to hear of Jim’s passing. I always enjoyed his posts and even more so, our private message exchanges. He was extremely helpful to others and a most thoughtful, kind man. My condolences go out to his loved ones and friends.
  3. I had known David for nearly 30 years, part of that time, working with him at NGC. He was so very dedicated, enthusiastic, enjoyable, intelligent and helpful. I had a few email exchanges with David, late last year, after I learned of his illness. And despite the extreme difficulties he was having, he was still the same extremely good-natured man that I’d come to know. I feel very fortunate to have know him.
  4. I'm deeply saddened to report I've been told by a friend at NGC that David passed away last night. My condolences go out to his friends, family and loved ones.
  5. Doug Winter (not Doug “Winters”) is extremely knowledgeable and a great writer.
  6. Yes, it looks like a modern copy to me. And coins should be held by their edges, so as to avoid fingerprints on them.
  7. I understand that his exoneration doesn’t necessarily mean he was innocent. At the same time, the accusations don’t necessarily mean he was guilty, either.
  8. Why is it being assumed that Leech was correct? It seems that this sentence contained in the opening post should lend some support to the possibility that his accusation was unfair. “Dodge was investigated for various changes during his term, but fully exonerated in 1881.”
  9. The referenced thread was about a 1910 $10. My post originally contained an old description for a four piece ($2.50, $5, $10 and $20) 1910 Proof gold set.
  10. That was the thread in which I’d posted an old Heritage lot description about 1908-1915 Proof gold coinage.
  11. The “well known numismatist” has removed the incorrect portion of his post. While you obviously had no obligation to do so, if you’d messaged him, he would have been aware of it and taken action much sooner. Thank you.
