Anyone know what happened to Mark Bir (dealer)? 0

[Prethen]

I know he dealt in coins of the old Americas and sea salvaged coins. I dealt with him either at a Denver ANA show or local Denver regional show some years ago.

Google seems to indicate he died in 2009.

Prethen --- Were your dealings with him after 2009 or before?

Seems like I haven't seen that name in forever.

It was August of 2006. I got the hint that he passed when I saw a coin that was offered noting it was from the ex-Mark Bir Collection.

I’ve seen many coins offered the same way when the person was living, as well.

Bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
